Overview

Common causes of adenocarcinoma of the lung include chromosomal rearrangements and genetic mutations.[1]

Causes

Genetic mutations

  • Genes involved in the pathogenesis of adenocarcinoma of the lung include:[2]
  • EGFR (7p11)
  • KRAS (12p12)
  • Translocation EML4/ALK
  • BRAF (7q34)
  • PIK3CA (3q26)
  • ERBB2 (17q12)
  • Tyrosine kinase fusions
  • ALK (2p23), ROS1 (6q22), and RET (10q11)
