Fibrosis to carcinogenesis: unveiling the causal dynamics between pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer
This study suggests a potential causal relationship between PF and SCLC, as well as between NSCLC and LUSC with PF. However, the overall causal relationship between PF and LC was not statistically significant, possibly due to individual variability and other influencing factors. Further research using data from diverse populations is needed to validate these findings.
