Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been proposed to have a mutual developmental mechanism, but their association has not been fully understood. We aimed to examine the association of the mutational landscape of NSCLC with co-morbid COPD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 197 surgical specimens of early stage NSCLC were retrospectively collected...
