Surprisingly, they found that although the patterns
of gene expression — as shown by the RNA sequencing — differed between the hepatocellular carcinomas and the liver cancers with biliary phenotype and depended on the histological

The study further suggests that NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen have a particularly advantageous effect when taken after diagnosis by colorectal, or CRC, patients

type tumors): The study shows that NSAID use by this group is associated with a survival benefit
of 40 percent.
