developed close or adjacent to the adenocarcinoma in six. These facts suggest some relationship between MALT lymphoma and adenocarcinoma of the lung.The API2-MALT1 fusion gene causes MALT lymphoma by activating the nuclear factor-B and the subsequent antiapoptotic signaling. 5 In our case, the API2-MALT1 fusion gene or factors associated with the gene might have played a role in the development of adenocarcinoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
