The long non coding RNA H19 as a biomarker for breast cancer diagnosis in Lebanese women

Abstract Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Minimally invasive percutaneous image-guided biopsies are the current cornerstone in the diagnosis of breast lesions detected on mammography/ultrasonography/MRI or palpable clinically. However, apparently benign breast disease seen...

description Abstract Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide.
