OBJECTIVE To study the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors for bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.METHODS Clinical data frorr 107 inpatient cases at The Cancer Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, from 1990-2000, were retrospectively reviewed.RESULTS The overall 1, 3 and 5-year survival rates were 88.7, 64.8 and 48.6% respectively. The main prognostic factors were tumor diameter （P= 0.022）, bronchial stump （P=0.016）, TNM stage （P=0.000）, T stage （P= 0.002）, N stage （P=0.000） and postoperation radiotherapy （P=0.001）. Cox regression analysis suggested that the TNM stage （P=0.000） and tumor diameter （P=0.015） are independent factors affecting the prognosis.CONCLUSION The overall survival rate of BAC patients was superior to those with other non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. The TN＇M stage and tumor diameter were independent factors affecting the prognosis for BAC

CONCLUSION The overall survival rate of BAC patients was superior to those with other non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The TNM stage and tumor diameter were independent factors affecting the prognosis for BAC.
