What is a disseminated adenocarcinoma?

A disseminated adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer that has spread from its original location to other parts of the body. Adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer that starts in the cells that line the glands. These glands can be found in many different organs throughout the body, including the lungs, breasts, pancreas, and colon. When adenocarcinoma spreads, it can travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. This can lead to cancer cells forming new tumors in other organs.

Disseminated adenocarcinoma is a serious condition, and the prognosis depends on the stage of the cancer and the organs that have been affected. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy.
