Adenocarcinoma of the lung is the most common type of non-small cell lung cancer.
Causes and Treatment of Adenocarcinoma
What causes adenocarcinoma? Smoking cigarettes is of course, the most common cause. It can also be caused by chronic exposure to second hand smoke, exposure to Radon gas, and exposure to asbestos or other toxins.
In some cases, it's difficult to determine the cause of adenocarcinoma.
The good news is that if you do have this form of lung cancer, it often responds well to treatment, especially when caught early before it spreads and especially when you approach treatment strategically.
It may be removed through surgery and it could be shrunk through radiation. You can also do more to help rid your body of the invader, too.
Whether your physician suggests wedge resection, lobectomy, targeted treatment, or another treatment and whether or not you have chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of the above, the best course of action for fighting lung cancer is to work to heal the whole body.
