Adenocarcinoma

Adenocarcinoma is one of the most common forms of cancer. This is a malignant neoplasm that develops from epithelial cells of the glands.

Adenocarcinomas can develop in various organs and tissues, including the lungs, stomach, intestines, breasts, prostate and others. However, lung adenocarcinoma is the most common.

The main symptom of adenocarcinoma is a cough with sputum, which can be caused by bleeding from the affected tissue. Chest pain, shortness of breath, weight loss and other symptoms may also occur.

Various techniques are used to diagnose adenocarcinoma, including x-rays, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment for adenocarcinoma depends on its stage and location.

In some cases, surgical removal of the tumor, as well as radiation and chemotherapy, may be performed. It is important to note that adenocarcinoma can recur, so after treatment it is necessary to undergo regular examinations and monitor your health.

Adenocarcinoma.

Adenocarcinoma is a malignant tumor that develops from epithelial cells and mucous membranes. It often forms in the glandular tissue of the digestive, respiratory or urinary system. The name "adenocarcinosa" is more accurate, but was often used only in pathology reports, and most people continue to call such tumors cancer.

The development of a malignant neoplasm usually begins with a thickening of the mucous membrane due to accelerated cell division. This inevitably leads to an increase in the rate of cell growth and the spread of the tumor throughout the tissues. If treatment is not started in time, the tumor continues to increase in size and can spread to all nearby anatomical structures and other organs. One of the signs of the disease is the appearance of compactions that grow rapidly and increasingly impede the passage of gases and feces. However, such localization of the lesion is quite rare in adenocarcinoma. Most often, from the first days you can detect an increase in the overall size of the organ and displacement of neighboring organs. Pus or serosis accumulates inside the peritoneum
