A recently completed study conducted amongst four academic institutions/cancer centres across the United States (Dana Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Massachusetts General Hospital), along with the University of Bologna in Italy have uncovered that "mucinous histology is seen in 10% of patients with lung carcinoma." Further, the researchers determined that patients diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma with mucinous histology, have never smoked. These findings indicate the need to strongly consider mucinous histology in future lung cancer prognostications.
