Abstract

Tumour spread through air spaces (STAS) in lung adenocarcinoma is a novel mechanism of invasion, which is important for pathologist to recognize. STAS has been proposed as an independent predictor of high risk of recurrence in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical implications of STAS and the distance from the edge of the tumor to the farthest STAS as prognostic factors in patients with lung adenocarcinoma treated with surgery.
