Mucoepidermoid tumors of the lung: analysis of 11 cases.

Abstract

In the current study, METs occurred more frequently in male patients. Young female patients were preponderant to have low-grade tumors and therefore associated with better prognosis. Histological grading of the MET and the ability to achieve an anatomic resection are 2 most important factors that affect prognosis. Adjuvant therapy seems not to be effective in patients with high-grade MET.
