Does anemia affect outcome after lobectomy or pneumonectomy in early stage lung cancer patients who have not received neo-adjuvant treatment?
Preoperative anemia and the type of resection in early stage non small cell lung cancer have an impact on midterm survival and lung cancer-specific mortality.
Clustered B cells and granzyme B staining did not differentiate between ACR and BKVN. However, ACR cellular infiltrate was rich in perforin positive cells suggesting that perforin staining may be a useful marker to discriminate between these conditions.
