Adjectival Hyphens

error

"Adenocarcinomas in situ (AIS) of the lung refer to a relatively new entity which falls under the spectrum of pre-invasive lesions of the lungs.

Commas

suggestion

"AISs are localised adenocarcinomas of ≤3 cm, with no growth pattern other than lepidic, with neoplastic cells along the alveolar structures but without stromal, vascular, lymphatic, or pleural invasion, and no features of necrosis ⁶."

Line 3:47 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

There Is

suggestion

"There are three histopathological subtypes, the most common is non-mucinous, with mucinous or mixed subtypes being rarely found."

Line 4:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.
