Fig. 1. Morphological subtypes of the parenchymal component of primary tumors in adenocarcinoma (A, lepidic; B, acinar; C, papillary; D, micropapillary; E, solid; F, solitary tumor cells) and squamous cell carcinoma (G, type I; H, type II; I, type III; J, type IV; K, type V). Staining H & E, magnification ×200
Fig. 2. Morphological changes to the bronchial epithelium outside the tumor: basal cell hyperplasia, BCH (A) and squamous cell metaplasia, SM (B). Staining H&E, magnification ×200
Fig. 3. Comparative characterization of the disease progression indicators in the groups of patients with non-small cell lung cancer distinguished on the basis of morphological changes to the bronchial epithelium. A. Tumor size (T). B. Lymphogenous metastases. C. Relapses. D. Hematogenous metastases
Table 1. Clinical and morphological characterization for the groups of patients with non-small cell lung cancer distinguished on the basis of morphological changes to the bronchial epithelium
Note: a.v. — absolute value; p4 measures the consistency of equal morbidity hypothesis for men (row 3) and women (row 4) in a given group; p7 measures the consistency of equal probability hypothesis for central vs peripheral localization (rows 6 and 7, respectively) in a given group.
Table 2. Histological characterization of the primary tumors for the groups of patients with non-small cell lung cancer distinguished on the basis of morphological changes to the bronchial epithelium
Note: p3 measures the consistency of equal probability hypothesis for squamous cell carcinoma (row 3) and adenocarcinoma (row 2) in a given group; pa measures the consistency of differences in a given parameter with group a (BCH–SM–); pb measures the consistency of differences in a given parameter with group b (BCH+SM–); рc measures the consistency of differences in a given parameter with group c (BCH+SM+).
