What is Acinar adenocarcinoma?

acinar adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer in which epithelial cells in the shape of cubes or columns become malignant and create glands. These cells would then join and create either "acini", which looks like a raspberry cluster or tubules, resulting in a neoplasm or abnormal tissue enlargement. Acinary adenocarcinoma was commonly considered to be a type of lung cancer and also corresponds to most of the malignant prostate glands. From the words adena and carcinoma , which mean the "gland" and "cancer". In general, cancer, which are referred to as adenocarcinomas, are those that include epithelial tissues, while malignant cells are able to secrete a substance, a similar function of the glands. They are also often threatening life because they do not show noticeable symptoms until advanced phases.

In the case of lungs, the reason why symptoms are not initially felt because malignant cells often develop in the pleura, a thin layer that covers and protects the lungs and not in the lungs themselves. Only when the neoplasm became too large and the pleura pushed to the lungs, can the patient feel discomfort and difficulty breathing. Malignant cells often appear in standard X -rays as a darkened area. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), acinar adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer, resulting in up to 35% of all cases of lung cancer. Chronic smokers are highly threatened by the development of accent adenocarcinoma of the lungs, although non -smokers who inhale second -hand smoke are also vulnerable.

Similarly, acinar adenocarcinoma prostrate is the most common form of prostate cancer, probably representing up to 90% of all cases. Sliphed malignant cells often cause prostatitis or prostate inflammation. This results in an obstacle to the urethra and consequently difficulty and urination pain, the usual symptom of advanced prostate cancer. However, the development of adenocarcinoma proceeds slowly, soPatients may not feel any symptoms until the prostate is too inflamed and cancer does not spread to other areas. Men who are 50 and over are the most prone to accent prostate adenocarcinoma, although important risk factors are also lifestyle, genes and race.
