Abstract
Among predominantly invasive stage IA lung adenocarcinomas, the malignant potential was higher for pure invasive tumors, and the prognosis was poorer than for partially invasive tumors when the invasive components were of equal sizes. The presence or absence of a lepidic component reflects a difference in subtype predominance and can help to decide the malignant grade of lung adenocarcinoma.
