Clinicopathological characteristics of adenosquamous carcinoma patients were compared with those of squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma patients.

The independent risk factors of cancer-specific survival of adenosquamous carcinoma patients were increasing age, male sex, invading through visceral pleura, poor differentiation and higher stage. Stage IB adenosquamous carcinoma patients whose tumor invaded through visceral pleura had significantly worse survival than those not (P\u00a0=\u00a00.003). Adenosquamous carcinoma patients had worse survival compared with squamous cell carcinoma (5-year-survival: 64.55 vs. 69.09%, P\u00a0=\u00a00.003) and adenocarcinoma (5-year-survival: 64.55 vs. 76.79%, P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a00.001) patients before match.
