The predominant subtype according the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer/American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society classification. Only patients with acinar predominant, papillary predominant, solid predominant with mucin production and invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma were analyzed, since cases with lepidic and micropapillary predominant subtypes were too few (5 and 7 cases, respectively. EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor; KRAS, Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog; ALK, anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase; WT, wild-type.
