Behaviour and survival of high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas of the lung Print E-mail

Large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is an aggressive variant of large-cell carcinoma of the lung, which has poor survival in most series, resembling that of small-cell lung carcinoma.

We report our retrospective assessment of surgically-resected cases of both tumours. Methods: 33 large-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas and 16 peripheral small-cell lung carcinomas were reassessed retrospectively. Survival rates of both tumours in surgically-resected cases were calculated and compared using Kaplan–Meier survival curves and Log Rank test, respectively. Results: In large-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas, there were 25 patients with pathologic stage I, 4 with pathologic stage II and 4 with pathologic stage III. In small-cell lung carcinomas, there were 6 patients...
