Abstract excerpt
A potential molecular marker associated with cancer susceptibility as well as metastasis, prognosis and adverse survival, is the L-myc gene. The studies of lung cancer patients from different populations have yielded controversial results. We studied 64 nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and 37 healthy controls of Turkish origin for L-myc gene polymorphism. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that there...
