​Acinar Adenocarcinoma

Acinar adenocarcinoma is a common type of cancer occurring in the prostate (walnut sized gland, present in men, located between the bladder and the penis) or the lung.

The cancer forms in the epithelial tissues that line these organs and is present as a malignant lobe-shaped tumour. It is a slow glowing cancer which is treatable if caught early.

Acinar adenocarcinoma of the prostate is most prevalent in older men and in people with a family history of the cancer.
Acinar adenocarcinoma of the lung is seen to be increasing amongst young women, who don't smoke.
