A two-phase epigenome-wide four-way gene–smoking interaction study of overall survival for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer
High-order interactions associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survival may elucidate underlying molecular mechanisms and identify potential therapeutic targets. Our previous work has identified a three-way interaction among pack-year of smoking (the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day multiplied by the number of years the person has smoked) and two DNA methylation probes (cg0
