Lung adenocarcinoma
MONDO:0005061A carcinoma that arises from the lung and is characterized by the presence of malignant glandular epithelial cells. There is a male predilection with a male to female ratio of 2:1. Usually lung adenocarcinoma is asymptomatic and is identified through screening studies or as an incidental radiologic finding. If clinical symptoms are present they include shortness of breath, cough, hemoptysis, chest pain, and fever. Tobacco smoke is a known risk factor.
Also known as: adenocarcinoma of lung, adenocarcinoma of the lung, lung adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma

Could an asthma drug help fight lung cancer? early trial investigates
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis pilot study tests whether an inhaled drug called cromolyn sodium, already used for asthma, is safe and feasible for people with locally advanced lung cancer. The drug works by calming mast cells, which may play a role in tumor growth and treatment resistance. About 5 to 10 p…

Less may be more: smaller lung surgery tested against standard removal
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study compares two types of surgery for people with a specific kind of lung cancer (adenocarcinoma) that is 2-3 cm in size and has a low-to-intermediate grade. One surgery removes just the part of the lung with the tumor (segmentectomy), while the other removes an entire lob…

Acupuncture needles aim to boost lung recovery after surgery
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether adding acupuncture to standard breathing exercises helps people recover lung function after surgery to remove a lung nodule. Half of the 56 participants will get acupuncture plus usual care, while the other half gets usual care alone. Lung function, pain,…

AI reads CT scans to predict which lung nodules turn cancerous
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study will develop an artificial intelligence model that uses a patient's series of CT scans over time to predict whether a lung nodule will grow or become cancerous. Researchers will analyze scans from nearly 5,000 people to train the AI to recognize different growth patter…

New study aims to unlock genetic secrets of lung cancer spread
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study looks at a specific type of lung cancer called lung adenocarcinoma and how it can spread through tiny air spaces in the lungs. Researchers will collect tumor and healthy tissue samples from 140 patients to find genetic markers that might predict this spread. The goal i…
