The main cause of lung cancer is smoking cigarettes, but it is interesting that in the case of adenocarcinoma, the proportion of non-smokers is significantly higher than in other types of lung cancer. Adenocarcinoma is lung cancer, one of the most serious diseases of the respiratory system in which cells begin to grow uncontrollably and form a tumor. Medically, lung cancer is divided into two main groups: small cell carcinoma and non-small cell carcinoma. The latter is much more common and includes adenocarcinoma, which most often develops in the outer parts of the lungs, explains Dr. Igor Štagljar, professor and director of the Department of Biochemistry and Medical Genetics at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, who is developing new approaches to discovering drugs for cancer. #Papa #rakpluća #oporavak (translated)
