Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The detection rate of multiple lung adenocarcinomas, which display multiple ground glass opacity nodules in the peripheral lung, is increasing because of advances in high resolution computed tomography. The genetic backgrounds of multiple nodules and the mechanisms that underlie their multicentric development are unknown. In this study, we examined single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the...
