The revised tumor-node-metastasis staging system for lung cancer: changes and perspectives.
The tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system for lung cancer has been modified since its first edition in the late 1960s.

متن کاملErythropoietin induces lymph node lymphangiogenesis and lymph node tumor metastasis.
Cancer therapy often produces anemia, which is treated with erthropoietin (EPO) to stimulate erythrocyte production. However, concerns have recently arisen that EPO treatment may promote later tumor metastasis and mortality. The mechanisms underlying such effects are unknown, but it is clear that EPO has pleiotropic effects in cell types other than hematopoietic cells. In this study, we investi...
