Abstract excerpt
Background: The chronic inflammatory state of COPD can lead to an imbalance in immune cell subsets, specifically manifested as an increase in regulatory T cells (Tregs), which may promote tumor immune escape. However, few studies have reported the correlation between polymorphisms of Treg-related FOXP3, IL2, and TGFB1 genes and the risk of lung cancer in COPD patients. Methods: Six SNPs in FOXP3, IL2, and TGFB1...
