Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma

摘要

Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is an increasingly common type of lung cancer. Its nonspecific clinical manifestations, diverse roent-genographic presentations, and associations with some chronic lung inflammatory conditions make it an important, potentially treatable consideration in many patients. Because of the amenability of localized disease to surgical cure and the devastating course of diffuse involvement, recognition of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma in its early stages is essential. More information about cellular origins and predispositions to this tumor is needed if effective prevention is to be achieved.
