===Classification===
Classification based on extent:<ref name=pmid21252716>{{cite journal |author=Travis WD, Brambilla E, Noguchi M, ''et al.'' |title=International association for the study of lung cancer/american thoracic society/european respiratory society international multidisciplinary classification of lung adenocarcinoma |journal=J...
#Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) - previously known as ''bronchioloalveolar carcinoma'' (abbreviated [[BAC]]).
#*Subtypes: nonmucinous, mucinous, mixed mucinous/nonmucinous.
#*Definition: lack of invasion into the stroma, vascular spaces and pleura.
#*Must have a lepidic growth pattern.<ref name=pmid22214965>{{Cite journal | last1 = Borczuk | first1 = AC. | title = Assessment of invasion in lung adenocarcinoma classification, including adenocarcinoma in situ and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma. | journal = Mod Pathol | volume = 25 Suppl 1 | issue = | pages = S...
#Minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA).
#*Lepidic growth with up to 5 mm of invasion.
#*Subtypes: nonmucinous (most common), mucinous (uncommon), mixed (mucinous/nonmucinous).
#*Should not have [[lymphovascular invasion]].{{fact}}
#Invasive adenocarcinoma:
#*Subtypes: micropapillary, mucinous (previously ''mucinous BAC''), colloid, fetal, enteric.
====Grading====
Graded G1-G4 - as per CAP protocol (version 3.4.0.0):<ref name=cap_protocol>CAP Lung protocol. Version: 3.4.0.0. URL: [http://www.cap.org/ShowProperty?nodePath=/UCMCon/Contribution%20Folders/WebContent/pdf/cp-lung-16protocol-3400.pdf http://www.cap.org/ShowProperty?nodePath=/UCMCon/Contribution%20Folders/WebContent/pdf...
*G1 = lepidic.
*G2 = acinar, papillary, cribriform.
*G3 = micropapillary, solid, mucinous, colloid.
*G4 = undifferentiated - '''not''' used for lung adenocarcinoma; it used for small cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma.
Note:
*There is no consensus currently on grading - as per the international consensus guidelines of 2011.<ref name=pmid21252716>{{cite journal |author=Travis WD, Brambilla E, Noguchi M, ''et al.'' |title=International association for the study of lung cancer/american thoracic society/european respiratory society internation...
