This is just 0.3 increase over the previous reading six months earlier but it also amounts to 23% increase which I f...

One thing worth considering, in case you’re not aware. I’m wildly under-qualified to judge the importance of this factoid in this context, but platelets are believed to have a central role in facilitating metastasis. Your signature suggests that your may have confidence that a recurrence is very un...

Are you in the USA? If so, I can give you a contact for a stem cell doctor, expert in this field. He has patients come to him from all over the USA. He might could give you some advice/guidance being a cancer patient NED. Thank you, sounds interesting, but I live in Spain, is it possible to consult...

Does anyone have information on changes in CRC standards of care over the past 10 to 20 years? I th...
