Intensity of SLX predicts distance of tumor spread through alveolar spaces in stage I lung adenocarcinoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:If anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangement in lung cancer is identified, ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) can be an effective treatment. However, the details of drug-induced lung injury (DILI) caused by ALK-TKI, which can be a serious side effect of ALK-TKIs, remains unclear. This study ...
