Adenocarcinoma of the Lung

Adenocarcinoma of the lung is a type of lung cancer that starts in the lining of the airways of the lungs. It is the most common type of lung cancer and can often affect younger smokers and non-smokers as well as older smokers. Adenocarcinoma of the lung can be difficult to diagnose as symptoms often overlap with other lung diseases. If identified early, a patient may be eligible for surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and other treatments that can help prolong life. Due to its prevalence, it is important for the public to be aware of the potential risks of adenocarcinoma of the lung and take preventive measures such as quitting smoking, avoiding second-hand smoke, and regular checkups with their doctor.
