Abstract

IPF is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, with cumulative incidence rates of 3.3% and 15.4% at 1 and 5 years of follow-up, respectively. The prognosis for lung cancer patients with IPF (IPF-LC) is worse than that for patients with IPF alone, mainly because of the progression of lung cancer and complications following treatment. In addition, promising therapeutic targets for IPF-LC have not been identified.
