A cancer originating in glandular tissue.<\/p>\n
Cancer of the glandular epithelium.<\/p>\n
A cancerous tumor arising from glandular tissue.<\/p>\n
A rare type of vaginal cancer and associated with women whose mothers took diethylstilbestrol (DES) during pregnancy.<\/p>\n
Malignant tumor of a gland, or tumor in which the cells form a glandular structure.<\/p>\n
A cancer derived from glandular tissue. Adenocarcinomas develop on the linings or inner surfaces of organs, such as the lung, pancreas, breast, prostate, esophagus, stomach, vagina, urethra, or small intestine. Nearly all colon cancers and about 40 percent of lung cancers are adenocarcinomas.<\/p>\n
A malignant epithelial tumor arising from the glandular structures, which are constituent parts of most organs of the body. The term is also applied to tumors showing a glandular growth pattern. These tumors may be subclassified according to the substances that they produce, for example mucus-secreting and serous adenocarcinomas, or to the microscopical arrangement of their cells into patterns, for example papillary and follicular adenocarcinomas. They may be solid or cystic (cystadenocarcinomas). Each organ may produce tumors showing a variety of histological types; for example, the ovary may produce both mucinous and serous cystadenocarcinomas.<\/p>\n
A malignant growth of glandular tissue. This tissue is widespread throughout the body\u2019s organs and the tumours may occur, for example, in the stomach, ovaries and uterus.<\/p>\n
A malignant tumor arising from a glandular organ.<\/p>\n
A cancer that develops in the lining or inner surface of an organ.<\/p>\n
A cancerous growth originating from the tissues of a gland while preserving its glandular structure.<\/p>\n
Adenocarcinoma is the medical term used to describe a type of cancer that originates from glandular tissue or a cancer in which the cells form gland-like structures. It develops from the epithelium, which is the layer of cells that lines various organs in the body.<\/p>\n
Carcinomas originating in the colon, which is the principal segment of the large intestine, as well as in the breast, pancreas, and kidney, commonly manifest as adenocarcinomas. Similarly, certain malignancies affecting the cervix, oesophagus, salivary glands, and diverse array of organs also exhibit adenocarcinoma characteristics.<\/p>\n
Glandular cancer can be specified by using “adeno” as a prefix to describe the particular form of the cancer. For example, it could be called adenosarcoma or adenochondrosarcoma.<\/p>\n
