Association between C4, C4A, and C4B copy number variations and susceptibility to autoimmune diseases: a meta-analysis.

abstract：:One of the main characteristics of cancer tissues is poor development of neovascularization that results in a limited blood circulation. Because of this phenomenon, it is harder for cancer tissues to diffuse their elevated heat into other parts of the body. The scientific principle of radiofrequency hyperthermia relie...
