Lepidic3
For resection specimens, new concepts are introduced such as adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) for small solitary adenocarcinomas with either pure lepidic growth (AIS) or predominant lepidic growth with ≤ 5 mm invasion (MIA) to define patients who, if they undergo complete resection, will have 100% or near 100% disease-specific survival, respectively.

citation needed] Adenocarcinoma, like other forms of lung cancer, is usually advanced or metastatic at time of diagnosis. (wikipedia.org)
This new classification strategy is based on a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis of lungadenocarcinoma that incorporates clinical, molecular, radiologic, and surgical issues, but it is primarily based on histology. (nih.gov)
Cancers2
Lung cancers that are discovered early may cause symptoms localized to the respiratory system. (wikipedia.org)
This classification provides guidance for small biopsies and cytology specimens, as approximately 70% of lung cancers are diagnosed in such samples. (nih.gov)
Histologic2
The pathophysiology of adenocarcinoma is complicated, but generally follows a histologic progression from cells found in healthy lungs to distinctly dysmorphic, or irregular cells. (wikipedia.org)
Adenocarcinoma is the most common histologic type of lung cancer. (nih.gov)
Metastatic disease1
The majority of patients who are diagnosed with lung cancer usually present with locally advanced or metastatic disease. (wikipedia.org)
In 2011, an updated classification of pulmonary adenocarcinoma was issued jointly by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS). (cap.org)

Patients10
The signs and symptoms of this specific type of lung cancer are similar to other forms of lung cancer, and patients most commonly complain of persistent cough and shortness of breath. (wikipedia.org)
Adenocarcinoma is more common in patients with a history of cigarette smoking, and is the most common form of lung cancer in younger women and Asian populations. (wikipedia.org)
However, lung cancer that is advanced will cause patients to experience additional signs and symptoms secondary to the cancer spreading to other organ systems. (wikipedia.org)

Patients with recurring or unresolving lung infections (e.g. bronchitis and pneumonia) that are unresponsive to antibiotics should also be further evaluated for lung cancer. (wikipedia.org)
Less than 1% of patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung will exhibit this finding, but when it does occur, it is a poor prognostic factor. (wikipedia.org)
As EGFR mutation is a validated predictive marker for response and progression-free survival with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors in advanced lungadenocarcinoma, we recommend that patients with advanced adenocarcinomas be tested for EGFR mutation. (nih.gov)

In nonsmokers, women and East Asians are more likely to present with symptoms of an underlying lung cancer at younger ages. (wikipedia.org)
Molecular4
Adenocarcinoma of the lung is the most common type of lung cancer, and like other forms of lung cancer, it is characterized by distinct cellular and molecular features. (wikipedia.org)
To address advances in oncology, molecular biology, pathology, radiology, and surgery of lungadenocarcinoma, an international multidisciplinary classification was sponsored by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, American Thoracic Society, and European Respiratory Society.
