A member asked:

Is there a difference in the symptoms of adenocarcinoma nsclc bronchioloalveolar mucinous and non mucinous ?

Not necessarily: The description of the tumor reflects more of its internal composition rather than whether it is creating more mucus in your air passageways (which would cause a person to cough).

Not much: Depends on location, size, metastasis, and sometimes on degree of thick mucin with cough and obstructions.
