Clinical significance of expression of estrogen receptor alpha and beta mRNAs in ovarian cancers.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The De Gramont regimen (or high-dose LV5FU2, HD-LV5FU2) is considered a standard treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and the costs of three regimens as compared to HD-LV5FU2: raltitrexed (R), LV5FU2 with a lower dose of folinic acid (LD-LV5FU2), and w...
