Adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer that starts in the gland-forming cells that line the inside of the stomach. These cells normally make mucus and digestive juices that protect and aid the stomach in breaking down food. In this disease, the cells grow in an uncontrolled way, forming a tumour that can invade deeper layers …

Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for about 40% of all lung cancer cases in North America. It belongs to the group of cancers known as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Adenocarcinoma begins in pneumocytes, the specialized cells that line the tiny air sacs of the lungs called alveoli. Alveoli are …

Adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer (malignant tumour) that develops from specialized glandular cells. Glandular cells typically produce substances such as mucus or hormones, and they’re normally found in many internal organs, including the lungs, breast, stomach, pancreas, colon, ovaries, and uterus (endometrium). Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of cancer affecting internal organs. Adenocarcinoma …
