Abstract excerpt
Experimental and epidemiologic studies indicated that calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) polymorphisms were associated with cancer risk, yet no data are available for candidate gene and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk. To address this, we evaluated whether CaSR rs17251221 polymorphism is associated with HCC susceptibility, clinicopathological parameters, and prognosis in HCC patients treated by TACE. A TaqMan...
