abstract = {Background: The current International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) grading system for invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma excludes invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) and mixed IMA, limiting its prognostic scope. We aimed to refine the IASLC grading system by incorporating IMA and mixed IMA, and to validate it in large-scale cohorts.Methods: This single-institutional study included 692 patients with stage I–III lung invasive adenocarcinoma from Shanghai Chest Hospital (training cohort) and 7,862 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (validation cohort). We introduced IMA and reclassified the IASLC grading system. Prognostic performance was assessed using Harrell C-index, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and areas under the curve (AUCs). Overall survival (OS) curves were estimated via the Kaplan-Meier method, with log-rank test for difference comparison.Results: Mucinous predominant tumors with },
