Since both BAs and SCCs are subgroups of NSCLCs that share the histological feature of being derived from lung epithelium [151], these data differ somewhat from ours which showed a statistically significant increase in eIF2α expression in the tumor cell compartments of SCCs as well as in the other major NSCLC histological subtypes (i.e., adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma) for which we had a sufficient number of cases. This evidence concerns the gene EIF2A and large cell carcinoma.
