The role of aromatase inactivators in the treatment of breast cancer.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) has a poor prognosis, and surgery remains the only effective treatment. However, tumor recurrence after primary hepatectomy is common. We examined the significance of repeat surgery for IHCC. METHODS:We collected data for all patients with IHCC between 1992 and 2018 (n...
