Lung adenocarcinoma subtyping: practical issue
by
Mark Pool, MD
Posted
Fri 18 Nov 2011 4:05pm
We have adopted subtyping adenocarcinoma routinely as part of the examination of lung resections along the lines suggested in the recent "comprehensive histologic subtyping" article by Motoi et al. (Am J Surg Pathol 2008;32:810-827). A recent case exposed an unexpected...

There are five common types of adenocarcinoma (actually I would say four since "mixed" doesn't seem to me a specific 'type") recognized in the WHO classification of lung cancer. But this classification also includes five rare but distinctive variants: fetal adenocarcinoma, mucin-producing adencarcinomas (mucinous "colloid" adenocarcinoma, mucinous

Former Texas governor Ann Richards recently died of esophageal cancer (she had squamous cell type).
Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA) is:
-The most RAPIDLY growing incidence... in recent years.

Relapse-related molecular signature for lung adenocarcinoma
by
Mark Pool, MD
Posted
Wed 15 Jul 2009 12:00am
I came across an intriguing study in J Clin Oncol (link to abstract) where a group from Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan have developed a genetic signature to identify patients with lung adenocarcinoma with a high probability of relapse. They analyzed whole-genome expression profiles in 117 lung adenocarcinoma
