Contribution of HER-2/neu oncogene expression to tumor grade and DNA content analysis in the prediction of prostatic carcinoma metastasis.

abstract：:Biologicals and biological response modifiers (BRMs) represent a new class of agents for cancer therapy. Historically, there have been many attempts to stimulate the immune response with nonspecific immunomodulators in the form of bacterial extracts, viruses, and chemicals. Although these approaches have occasionally ...
