Adenocarcinoma of Lung: Focused on Ground-Glass Nodule
폐선암: 간유리음영결절을 중심으로
노병학
Abstract
Adenocarcinoma is the predominant type of lung cancer today; and its incidence has been reported to be increasing worldwide. This rising prevalence has led to an evolution in our understanding of lung adenocarcinoma and related lesions; many of which appear as groundglass opacities on chest CT. Ground-glass nodules can serve as imaging biomarkers that represent the bronchioloalveolar carcinoma component in adenocarcinoma on histology and indicate a better prognosis in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The evolution of ground-glass nodules reflects the multistep progression of adenocarcinoma.
Key Words: Adenocarcinoma, Bronchiolo-Alveolar, Ground-glass opacity, Lung neoplasms, Solitary pulmonary nodule, Tomography, X-Ray computed
