MicroRNAs identify high-risk colon cancer patients

Choosing the optimal anticancer treatment for each patient requires proper disease staging. Staging is usually assessed according to the TNM system: tumour size (T), number of nearby lymph nodes affected (N), and metastasis, or spread to other

Perpendicular-plane configuration to prevent backward electron transfer
