Gene expression and prognosis of insulin‑like growth factor‑binding protein family members in non‑small cell lung cancer

Abstract excerpt

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Approximately 85% of all lung cancer cases are classified as non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently, there is no standard method to predict the survival of patients with NSCLC. Insulin‑like growth factor‑binding proteins (IGFBPs) function as modulators of IGF signaling and are attracting increasing attention for their role in NSCLC. However,...
