This review explores the repertoire of molecular biomarkers in CRC, comprised of chromosomal aberrations and genomic instability and...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Standard treatment for pediatric patients with localized osteosarcoma includes high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX), and cure rates greater than 60% are observed. However, in adult patients, the toxicity profile limits the use of HDMTX and the drug is usually excluded from chemotherapy protocols for this group. We aimed to evaluate the...
