Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma of the lung: Recurrences and survival in patients with stage I disease

Clinical features of patients with stage IIIB and IV bronchioloalveolar carcinoma of the lung

“…28,29,31,34,37,39,42 Two previous studies have documented the therapeutic efficacy of systemic chemotherapy in patients with advanced BAC and those with other types of NSCLC. 29,37 Patients with both BAC and other types of NSCLC were treated with cisplatin-based regimens in one of the studies.…”

Mucinous Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma With Organoid Differentiation Simulating the Pyloric Mucosa of the Stomach:Clinicopathologic, Histochemical, and Immunohistochemical Analysis

“…Clear b o r d e r s were especially e v i d e n t between the alveoli filled with mucus and those without mucus. Consolidation or pneumonic shadow is a typical roentgenographic manifestation of BAC, 12,13 and a solitary nodule could be one of early manifestations of gastriclike BAC.
