What Causes Adenocarcinoma?
my daughter had a bowel obstruction and a n obstruction of the left ureter and a non functioning left kidney. She recently had a removal of the left kidney. and resection of 12 inches bowel. She has an adenocarcinoma but they say that neither the ureter or bowel are the primary cancer. Where else might the ca have originated?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your daughter 's situation and problem.
In females following are the common organs for adenocarcinoma.
1. Uterus
2. Ovaries
3. Lung
4. Breast
And all of these can cause secondary spread in bowel and kidney.
So better to consult oncologist and search for primary in above mentioned organs.
You can get done PET scan. This will definitely help her to search primary.
