(Teleborsa) - Rome, Oct. 27 - MolMed earnings day in Piazza Affari. The shares of the biotech company jumped by 3.91%s, changing to 0.43 euros per share. The earnings are even more surprising if one considers that the stock travels against the Italian indices in red.

The study, according to a note, foresees the enrollment of 96 patients and will test the administration of NGR-hTNF as monotherapy or in combination with doxorubicin.

Get checked by three different doctors before having surgery,” the Prime Minister. For many, an almost promotional message for a drug that probably won't require further surgery to be able to work.
But that's not enough: there are not a few who point out that the criticisms of theNational Medical Oncology Association complain about the new cuts in the national health service, which will not allow doctors to provide adequate treatment for cancer patients. As if the AR was waiting to solve the problem
