Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare, poorly differentiated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that contains sarcomatoid components or sarcomatoid differentiation, and accounts for less than 1% of all lung tumors. Compared to other types of NSCLC, PSC has more invasive biological behavior, is prone to metastasis, and has a higher recurrence rate after early surgery. Its greater resistance to traditional treatments leads to a poorer prognosis compared to other NSCLCs. Immunotherapy offers the possibility of long-term survival for PSC patients.
肺肉瘤样癌(PSC)是一种罕见的、低分化非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC),含有肉瘤样成分或肉瘤样分化,占所有肺部肿瘤的比例不到1%。与其他类型的NSCLC相比,PSC具有更强的侵袭性生物学行为,易于转移,早期手术后复发率更高。与其他NSCLC相比,其对传统治疗的更大耐药性导致预后更差。免疫疗法为PSC患者提供了长期生存的可能性。
