Although several authors have reported evidence of fibrosis in the lungs of welders, sJderosJs with local massJve fibrosis has been rarely descrJbed. In this paper, we present a case of Welder＇s siderosis with local massive fibrosis mimicking lung cancer.展开更多

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum cytokine levels and the clinical outcome of erlotinib treatment in a second or third line setting in patients with advanced NSCLC.展开更多

The estimated prevalence rate of CVID ranged from 1/50 000 to 1/200 000.I The common clinical manifestations of CVID are repeated and prolonged respiratory infections.展开更多
