beef and other red meat -- especially if the meat is grilled or well-
done.

prise en charge des personnes âgées atteintes d’un cancer.

Le traitement du cancer de l'ovaire pourra être adapté à chaque
patiente‎
Une équipe a découvert deux éléments génétiques permettant

au traitement, il serait ainsi possible d'adapter celui-ci au cas par
cas, pour chaque patiente.
