Well, getting the right letters together still matters, and in the healthcare world, three letters to pay close attention to are HCC. Those letters stand forHierarchical Condition Category (HCC)coding. They are
On the other hand, there are also potential disadvantages of neoadjuvant therapy. Severe AE of neoadjuvant therapy can delay the resection, or increase the risk of postoperative morbidity, etc33. In this study, the neoadjuvant therapy of 3 fractions of SBRT (8 Gy) plus two cycles of tisle...
Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) length larger than 200nt does not possess the ability to encode proteins, thus remarked as “dark matter” in human diseases. LncRNAs have been demonstrated to regulate important biological functions, such as stem cell properties and tumor progression [13]. However, ...
DNA and proteins (1). These small particles of 40 to 5,000 nm in diameter are released by several cells into the extracellular matrix. While they were previously considered as a means to discard cellular metabolic
In conclusion, the dysregulation and replacement of H3 variants provides a potential means of altering the pattern of histone H3 post translational modifications and thus leading to aberrant gene expression and phenotype. 6. Ethics approval and consent to participate All the experiments were performed ...
CMS and other insurers that incorporate HCC methodology into reimbursement will probably exclude codes that lack the relative degree of specificity achievable with many ICD-10 codes. This means that providers will probably be unable to avoid coding in extreme (feel free to substitute your own adjecti...
refractory to the treatment, provide additional rational for the neoadjuvant use of immunotherapy. This study aimed to explore the “neoadjuvant” therapy of HCC, which means the tumors must be clearly and definitely “resectable”; in BCLC staging system, resection/(ablation/transplantation) is only...
miRs are short non-coding nucleic acids with 18–24 nucleo- tides found within cells and circulating in the blood [5]. miR-21 is a key player in various types of liver disease, including alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, fibrosis and HCC [6, 7]. It was ...
Accumulating studies have implicated the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through the regulating transcription and mRNA stability. A recent report has linked Rac GTPase-activating protein 1 (RACGAP1) to the early recurrence of HCC. The ...
