Can Adenocarcinoma Spread To The Trachea?
I am wondering if a person can get adenocarcinoma in the trachea. My mother had 2/3 of her lung removed 2 years ago after having been diagnosed with Stage 1 adenocarcinoma. Now she just left an ENT who told her that her trachea is pushed to the side due to some type of undetermined blockage. A CT scan is scheduled for the 15th.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic...as your mother had earlier got lung cancer there is a possibility that the block is due to a recurrent growth or spread to the nodes that is causing a mass and pushing the trachea.. You can get adenocarcinoma infiltrating the trachea or rarely arising from the trachea also....kindly review with the CT scan reports..based on thatI will be able to tell you further...
