Metastatic meningeal carcinomatosis from lung cancer: Report of a rare case.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Growing evidence indicates that high phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) expression is associated with tumor prognosis in many types of cancers. However, the role of PSPH in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of PSPH in NSCLC. M...
