Gram-positive pneumonia augments non-small cell lung cancer metastasis<i>via</i>host toll-like receptor 2 activation Open
Surgical resection of early stage nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is necessary for cure. However, rates of postoperative bacterial pneumonias remain high and may confer an increased risk for metastasis. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) mediate…
