Novel gene signatures for stage classification of the squamous cell carcinoma of the lung
Abstract The squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (SCLC) is one of the most common types of lung cancer. As GLOBOCAN reported in 2018, lung cancer was the first cause of death and new cases by cancer worldwide. Typically, diagnosis is made in the later stages of the disease with few treatment options...
