An accurate histological evaluation of invasive lung adenocarcinoma is essential for a correct clinical and pathological definition of the tumour. Different grading systems have been proposed to predict the prognosis of invasive lung adenocarcinoma. Invasive non mucinous lung adenocarcinoma is often morphologically heterogeneous, consisting of complex combinations of architectural patterns with different proportions. Several grading systems for non-mucinous lung adenocarcinoma have been proposed, being the main based on architectural differentiation and the predominant growth pattern. Herein we perform a thorough review of the literature using PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science and we highlight the peculiarities and the differences between the main grading systems and compare the data about their prognostic value. In addition, we carried out an evaluation of the proposed grading systems for less common histological variants of lung adenocarcinoma, such as fetal adenocarcinoma and invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma. The current IASLC grading system, based on the combined score of predominant growth pattern plus high-grade histological pattern, shows the stronger prognostic significance than the previous grading systems in invasive non mucinous lung adenocarcinoma.
