Improving cancer-specific outcomes in solid organ transplant recipients: Where to begin?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Allelic deletions are frequent genetic alterations in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS:To evaluate the allelic losses on chromosome 8p in HCC patients and define their clinicopathologic significance, we performed high-density allelotyping on 8p in 60 patients with HCC and analyzed the c...
