Abstract:
Lung adenocarcinoma is usually thought to follow a linear multistep progression schema,that is precancerous lesions progress to adenocarcinoma in situ,and progress to micro-invasive adenocarcinoma,eventually some lung adenocarcinoma happen diffusion.However,recent findings reveal that this linear progression schema might not occur in all lung adenocarcinoma subtypes,and some subtypes show a kind of non-linear progression schema.The study of these two kinds of schemas can help for early detection of lung adenocarcinoma.
