Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma—also called colonic-type adenocarcinoma—is one of several types of sinonasal cancers. The structure of the tumor consists of columns of mucin-secreting cells with various growth patterns that bear a striking resemblance to colorectal cancer. Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma as well as other types of sinonasal adenocarcinoma have been linked to occupational exposure to wood dust particles. Workers in the wood industry such as furniture factory workers who are frequently exposed to wood dust—especially hard wood—face a significantly higher risk of developing the rare, but fatal disease.

Symptoms of Intestinal-Type Adenocarcinoma

An intestinal-type adenocarcinoma diagnosis is often delayed because the signs and symptoms of the disease resemble those of a sinus infection and this significantly reduces the rate of survival. Woodworkers should seek immediate medical attention if they experience the following symptoms:

• Nasal obstructions
• Nosebleeds and discharge
• Pain and numbness in the upper teeth
• Facial swelling
• Severe sinus pains
• More

Prognosis and Treatment

Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma is of extremely high-grade malignancy and is one of the most aggressive types of sinus cancer. Patients diagnosed with the disease often face a poor prognosis. However, treatment options including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy can extend a patient’s life span.

Your Legal Rights

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with intestinal-type adenocarcinoma or other type of nasal cancer that you believe was caused by occupational exposure to wood dust, you may be eligible to seek compensation for your losses and suffering through a personal injury lawsuit. Economic and non-economic damages that may be recovered include medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost-income capacity, loss of enjoyment of life, and more.
