Overview
Common causes of adenocarcinoma of the lung include chromosomal rearrangements and genetic mutations.[1]
Causes
Chromosomal rearrangements
- Three membrane associated tyrosine kinase receptors are recurrently involved in rearrangements in adenocarcinomas: ALK, ROS1, and RET, and more than eighty other translocations have also been reported in adenocarcinomas of the lung.[2]
Genetic mutations
- Genes involved in the pathogenesis of adenocarcinoma of the lung include:[3]
