Impact of STAS on Lung Resections for Adenocarcinoma: A Retrospective Analysis
STAS is frequent in resected ADCL and correlates with adverse pathological features and reduced OS in univariate models. In multivariate analysis, STAS did not emerge as an independent prognostic factor. These findings support the interpretation of STAS as a marker of aggressive tumor biology rather than an independent determinant of prognosis or surgical decision-making.
