Summary of the different initiation methods and oncogenic drivers used by Mainardi et al. (2) and Sutherland et al. (3). The location, histological description, and lineage markers of the resulting tumors, as well as the probable cell(s) of origin that can be inferred from these data are also shown. Alv, alveolar; Bron, bronchiolar.
