Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate differences in HLA status among lung cancer patients, patients with hematological malignancies, and healthy controls in order to determine the genetic susceptibility and resistance features of HLA-DRB1-related alleles in Japanese patients with lung cancer. METHODS: HLA cla...
