The study aims to investigate the microRNA expression, survival rate and response to interferon alfa in the case of men and women with liver cancer. The results indicate that there was a difference in expression patterns of microRNA among men and women with the ailment; and also that patients with low miR-26 had a shorter survival rate but a better response to interferon therapy.
