Abstract
Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) variants on chromosome 15q25 and 5p15 and genetic polymorphisms on the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene showed that they may contribute to lung carcinogenesis. Therefore, this study was performed in order to assess the role of GWAS, and VEGF variants in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) prognosis.
