Overview
Adenocarcinoma of the lung may be classified according to WHO into 5 subtypes: mixed, acinar, papillary, bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, and solid adenocarcinoma.[1] Adenocarcinoma of the lung may be classified according to IASLC/ATS/ERS into 6 subtypes: pre-invasive lesions, atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, adenocarcinoma in situ, minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, invasive adenocarcinoma, and variants of invasive adenocarcinoma.
Classification
- Adenocarcinomas are highly heterogeneous tumors. Several major histological subtypes are currently recognized by the WHO[1] and IASLC/ATS/ERS classification systems.[2][3][4]
- In as many as 80% of tumors that are extensively sampled, components of more than one of these subtypes will be recognized. Using increments of 5% to describe the amount of each subtype present, the predominant subtype is used to classify the whole tumor.[5] The predominant subtype is prognostic for survival after complete resection.[6]
- The classification systems for adenocarcinoma of the lung are described below.
