“…Indeed, several clinical trials showed that the combination therapy with erlotinib plus bevacizumab resulted in significantly longer PFS than EGFR‐TKI therapy alone in EGFR ‐mutant NSCLC patients, including patients with pleural effusion . In addition, the previous study reported that the high levels of VEGF expression in NSCLC tissue were identified as an independent poor prognostic factor . Because VEGF levels in malignant pleural effusion caused by lung cancer were significantly higher than VEGF levels in benign exudative pleural effusion, EGFR ‐mutant NSCLC patients with pleural effusion may have had a worse survival rate, consistent with our study result.…”

“…Consistent with previous studies, gelsolin and osteopontin exhibited higher expression in LAC tissues than adjacent normal tissues [1719]. These proteins were elevated in blood and play important roles in tumor progression and metastasis [20, 21], but both were downregulated in LAC patient urine samples.…”
