My brother was just diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma cancer after he had a tumor removed (they tested the tumor after removal). This is the same type that our mother died from when she was in her early 40’s. My brother is only 27. He is going to see a specialist soon. What should he expect? Will they give him a stage that his cancer is in? I don’t understand how this could happen, because he’s only 27. He smokes, for most of his life he has, will this effect it?
The tumor was in his neck in a gland.

They will give him a stage when he goes to the doctor. i dont think it is a good idea for him to be smoking anymore best if he quits. i cant give you an answer right now on what to expect until you know the stage he is in, but if its in like stage one or two then it might be operable and some kemo and radiation, but after that im not sure. let me know what stage and i will find out more.

Adenocarcinoma of what?
Adenocarcinoma is one of the most common types of cancer there is. How serious it is and what to expect depends on what organ it originated from, so it is not possible to answer you. If his appointment is with an oncologist or a postop appointment he will be told the stage then.
