Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the lung is a rare form of lung cancer that is classified into low grade and high grade based on histological features. For Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Lung, surgery is the most commonly used and most effective form of treatment. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for low-grade MEC with excellent outcomes but high-grade MEC is a more aggressive form of this malignancy.

Abstract

Akciğerin mukoepidermoid karsinomu (MEC), histolojik özelliklerine göre düşük ve yüksek gradeli olarak sınıflandırılan nadir bir akciğer kanseri türüdür. Akciğerdeki Mukoepidermoid Karsinom için cerrahi en sık kullanılan ve en etkili tedavi şeklidir. Cerrahi rezeksiyon, mükemmel sonuçlara sahip düşük dereceli MEC için birincil tedavidir, ancak yüksek gradeli MEC bu malignitenin daha agresif bir şeklidir
