Down-regulation of the tumour suppressor κ-opioid receptor predicts poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma patients
Abstract Background Opioid receptors have become increasingly implicated in cancer progression and long-term patient outcomes. However, the expression and significance of the κ-opioid receptor (KOR) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. Methods In this study, KOR mRNA expression was anal...
