Abstract excerpt
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for most of these cases. Interleukin 4 (IL-4) is a typical pleiotropic T helper 2 cytokine and plays crucial roles in tumor immunology. IL-4 gene -590T/C polymorphism has been shown to be associated with different autoimmune diseases and cancers. The present study evaluated the correlation between this...
