Moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma refers to the degree of differentiation of cancer cells.

Adenocarcinoma is a malignant tumor that occurs in the salivary gland epithelium. Adenocarcinoma accounts for 9% of salivary gland epithelial tumors and is a highly malignant type of salivary gland malignant tumors.

Adenocarcinoma is pathologically divided into three types: poorly differentiated, moderately differentiated, and well differentiated. Poorly differentiated tumors have the highest malignancy and progress the fastest, while well-differentiated tumors have the lowest malignancy and progress slowly. The degree of malignancy of moderate differentiation is intermediate between the two.

Moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma needs to be treated according to specific circumstances, such as the stage of the tumor, including surgery, chemotherapy, etc.

Causes of adenocarcinoma:

1. Environmental factors

The body reacts to environmental pollution, chemical pollution (chemical toxins) ), ionizing radiation, free radical toxins, microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.) and their metabolic toxins. It is directly related to the working environment and living environment.

2. Body factors

Genetic characteristics, endocrine imbalance, immune dysfunction and other carcinogens and factors lead to cancerous transformation of normal cells in the body.

Often manifested as: local masses formed by abnormal cell proliferation in local tissues. Cancer is a large class of diseases caused by multiple causes, stages and mutations in normal cells of the body.
