Abstract:
Due to advances in the understanding of lung adenocarcinoma since the advent of its 2004 World Health System classification, an international multidisciplinary panel [sponsored by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), American Thoracic Society (ATS), and European Respiratory Society (ERS)] has recently updated the classification system for lung adenocarcinoma, the most common histologic type of lung cancer. Here, we summarize and highlight the new criteria and terminology, certain aspects of its clinical relevance and its potential treatment impact, and future avenues of research related to the new system.
