Many causes: The one you can do something about is lung adenocarcinoma -- not smoking cuts your risk. If you have helicobacter of the stomach, removing this reduces your risk for stomach adenocacinoma.

More information: Adenocarcinoma is identifying the cellular type of cancer, but does not tell me where the cancer was found. For example lung and esophagus cancers can be adenocarcinoma.
