Prostate adenocarcinoma
English
Medical
Medical (general)
I need to know the difference between tumour growths of carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Prostate adenocarcinoma is called so due to the glandular origin, is that right? Or is it better to say prostate carcinoma?
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

There are various types of prostate carcinoma
In general, Adenocarcinoma is a cancer of an epithelium that originates in glandular tissue. Adenocarcinoma represents approximately 95 % of all prostate carcinomas, which means there are other types as well, i.e. you have to distinguish between various types of prostate cancer.

What is prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer is a disease of the prostate, a walnut-size gland in the male reproductive system. Nearly all prostate cancer is prostate adenocarcinoma. Prostate cancer is graded based on its Gleason score, which it how the cells look under a microscope and ranges from two to ten. A low Gleason score means that the cancer tissue is similar to normal cells and unlikely to spread. A high Gleason score means that the cancer cells are very different from normal cells and are likely to spread. For patients whose cancer has spread, their survival time is usually one to three years. It was estimated that for 2011, 240,890 men would be diagnosed and 33,720 would die from prostate cancer1.

Prostate cancer
Several types of cells are found in the prostate, but almost all prostate cancers develop from the gland cells. Gland cells make the prostate fluid that is added to the semen. The medical term for a cancer that starts in gland cells is adenocarcinoma.
Other types of cancer can also start in the prostate gland, including sarcomas, small cell carcinomas, and transitional cell carcinomas. But these types of prostate cancer are so rare that if you have prostate cancer it is almost certain to be an adenocarcinoma. The rest of this document refers only to prostate adenocarcinoma.
Some prostate cancers can grow and spread quickly, but most grow slowly. In fact, autopsy studies show that many older men (and even some younger men) who died of other diseases also had prostate cancer that never affected them during their lives. In many cases neither they nor their doctors even knew they had it.

So
95% of prostate cancers are adenocarcinoma
whereas the other 5% are
sarcomas, small cell carcinomas, and transitional cell carcinoma.
So if your source text says prostate adenocarcinoma, then use that.
