Adenocarcinoma is the most common histotype of lung cancer.
Is it true that Adenocarcinoma is the most common histotype of lung cancer?
Yes. Contemporary epidemiological evidence confirms that adenocarcinoma is the most common histotype of lung cancer, having overtaken squamous cell carcinoma in many populations.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 5 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved papers consistently support the claim that adenocarcinoma is the most prevalent histotype of lung cancer in modern populations, driven by shifts in smoking habits and environmental exposures.
