From a total of 2,944 cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 82 (3%) were BAC. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with BAC were compared with those of the remaining 2,862 patients with NSCLC. The percentage of men was lower for BAC than for other types of NSCLC (64.6% compared with 93.5%; P< .001) and BAC was associated with less comorbidity (50% vs 62%; P< .05), particularly in terms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (33% vs 47.2%; P< .05). Other characteristics showing significant differences were the higher frequency of BAC as a chance finding and the lower likelihood of weight loss or reduced performance status at the time of diagnosis. Classification as stage cI was significantly more common in patients with BAC (87% vs 75%; P.001), and this difference between groups was more pronounced for stage pI (68.5% vs 47%; P< .01). Only taking into account patients classified as stage pI with complete resection of NSCLC and following exclusion of operative mortality, patients with BAC presented an overall 5-year survival of 65% (95% confidence interval [CI], 51%-79%), compared with a significantly lower survival of 53% (95% CI, 50%-56%; P< .05) in patients with other forms of NSCLC. In Spain, among cases of lung cancer treated by surgery, BAC is very rare (3%) and displays clinical characteristics that are different from other forms of NSCLC. Controlling for the most basic prognostic factors (stage pI and complete resection), survival is significantly higher for BAC.

All patients with a diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma diagnosed in our hospital from January 1992 through December 2000 were studied. Sixty-two patients (49 men) with a mean age of 65 years (range, 45-85) were diagnosed. Probable or known contact with asbestos was established for 41 patients (66%). Ninety-four percent of the patients had chest pain or dyspnea at the onset of clinical assessment. The tumor was situated in the right hemithorax in 33 patients; 59 patients had pleural effusion, and 3 only had pleural thickening. The pleural fluid was bloody in 19% of patients, glucose levels were less than 60 mg/dL in 44%, and the pH of pleural fluid was less than 7.20 in 19%. The diagnosis was established by pleural biopsy for 52%, and by thoracoscopy or thoracotomy for 44%. The median survival was 11 months (95...
