adenocarcinomas
Adenocarcinomas are a type of cancer that originates in glandular tissues, which are responsible for producing fluids such as mucus, hormones, and digestive juices. These tumors can develop in various organs, including the lungs, breast, prostate, and pancreas. Adenocarcinomas are characterized by abnormal cell growth that can invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body.
Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests, biopsies, and laboratory analyses to determine the cancer's type and stage. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the tumor's location and extent. Early detection is crucial for improving outcomes.
