Real-world treatment patterns for patients 80 years and older with early lung cancer: a nationwide claims study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) was first identified as an apoptosis-promoting protein and involved in some autoimmune diseases and inflammatory processes. Our previous study demonstrated greater expression of serum PDCD5 in asthmatic patients than controls. This study aimed to further explore the significan...
