Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence in Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is still one of the most common malignancies with a high global mortality rate with over 2 million cases confirmed by the World Health Organization in 2018.

This study of the imperial clan as an institution analyzes the history, its political tile and the lifestyle of its members, focusing on their residence patterns, marriages and occupations.
