Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death in the Veteran population and metastasis is a major contributing factor to recurrence and mortality associated with non-small cell lung cancer. Aim 1 will take advantage TRAIL, a cytokine which induces apoptosis in cancer cells that is currently being evaluated as a... |
