The role of palliative chemotherapy for terminally ill patients with advanced NSCLC.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The five-year survival rate of lung adenocarcinoma patients (LUAD) is very low,and the methods of predicting survival are a great obstacle for LUAD therapies. Endothelin receptor type B (EDNRB) gene is associated with tumorigenesis. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of EDNRB on LUAD. ...
