welcomes you to the new, improved website!This report on 127 pts with atypical pulmonary carcinoid evaluated clinical and pathological prognostic features. Recurrence developed in 25% of pts during follow-up, with sublobar resection being the only independent predictor. Survival was related only to distant recurrence on multivariable analysis. The authors recommend complete standard anatomical resection with radical lymphadenectomy as a the standard of care.
