Percutaneous tracheostomy: a comprehensive review.

abstract：Background:Radical resection is the cornerstone for patients with early stage of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, fatal disease recurs in about 30-70% of resected cases. The circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is one of the main causes of recurrence of cancer. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is also a potential pr...
