متن کاملGenetic factors and breast cancer laterality
BACKGROUND Women are more likely to develop cancer in the left breast than the right. Such laterality may influence subsequent management, especially in elderly patients with heart disease who may require radiation therapy. The purpose of this study was to explore possible factors for such cancer laterality. METHODS In this work, clinical data for consecutive patients with histologically conf...
