Detailed explanation-1: -Adenocarcinoma, the most common lung cancer diagnosed in nonsmokers, often starts in the outer areas of the lungs, in mucus-producing cells that line the small airways, called bronchioles. Adenocarcinoma has a different shape than other types of lung cancer, says Daniel Boffa, MD, a Yale Medicine thoracic surgeon.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adenocarcinoma is a type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It usually begins in the outer edges of the lungs and the lining of the bronchi (airway passages into the lungs). It is different from other types of lung carcinomas, which are usually more centrally located in the lungs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adenocarcinoma: This is more common than squamous cell carcinoma. Manifesting in the outer regions of the lung, adenocarcinoma also has ties to current and former smokers, but is the lung cancer type that’s prevalent among non-smoking females, too.
