Factors affecting efficacy and safety of add-on combination chemotherapy for non-small-cell lung cancer: a literature-based pooled analysis of randomized controlled trials.

abstract：:Reaginic antibodies in hay fever patients belong to IgE. The immunoglobulin sensitizes basophilic granulocytes and mast cells from homologous species and mediates the release of chemical mediators which cause allergic symptoms. The sensitization is due to the binding of IgE to receptors on the target cells through the...
