Overview

Genetic mutations are primarily responsible for the development of adenocarcinoma of the lung. Genetic mutations of EGFR (7p11), KRAS (12p12), BRAF (7q34), and PIK3CA (3q26) play a major role in the pathogenesis of adenocarcinoma.

Causes

  • Genes involved in the pathogenesis of adenocarcinoma of the lung include:[1][2][3][4]
