Is blood vessel invasion a major feature and a factor of poor prognosis in sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung?
Dedifferentiation in NSCLC could lead to SC and an epithelial subtype component could influence outcome. BVI was present in almost all SCs and was an independent factor of poor prognosis.
Although the cross-sectional nature of the data limits conclusions about causal inference, our findings do suggest that racial discrimination and RS-race may both be important for understanding risk for distress in the psychotic spectrum among racial and ethnic minority young adults. Some individuals who report racial discrimination may be more vulnerable to APPS-distress in part because they are anxiously anticipating being racially slighted, and this should be explored further in prospective clinical high-risk studies.
