Prognostic factors for different outcomes in patients with metastatic spinal cord compression from cancer of unknown primary.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were proposed to have potential effects against inflammation and cancer. However, results from epidemiology studies remain inconsistent. We aimed to explore the associations of plasma PUFAs with EC recurrence and all-cause mortality. METHOD:Women diagnosed with en...
