Cancer that begins in cells that line certain internal organs and that have gland-like (secretory) properties.

A cancer that involves the cells lining the walls of many different organs of the body. It starts in glandular tissue or has a gland-like appearance.

Cancer that begins in cells that line certain internal organs and that have gland-like (secretory) properties.

One of the most common primary lung carcinomas, which appears to be increasing in incidence, and now may be more common than squamous cell carcinoma. This tumor is usually peripheral in location and often is associated with scarring, leading to pleural puckering. This neoplasm may vary in histologic appearance with some tumors having well-formed gl [..]
