sSurvival Comparison of Three Histological Subtypes of Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Population-based Propensity Score Matching Analysis

Worldwide, lung cancer is the most frequent diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality [1,2]. As one of the most common histologic subtypes of Lung cancer, the overall prevalence of lung squamous cell carcinoma is reported to be approximately 30%, composed of lung basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC), keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (KSCC), and nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (NKSCC). Of the three subtypes, BSCC is a relatively uncommon histological subtype, whose histopathologic and clinical features was first described by Brambilla ’s group in 1992 [3].
