Expression of miR-100 as a novel ancillary non-invasive biomarker for early detection of bladder carcinoma.

Objective: To determine the expression of microribonucleic acid-100 in bladder cancer patients and to evaluate its association with clinicopathological parameters.

Methods: This cross-sectional case-control study was conducted at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre Karachi and Civil Hospital Karachi from January to December 2014. Serum samples from patients having bladder carcinoma were collected, and divided into three equal groups.

Clinicopathological features associated to MiRNA-195 expression in patients with breast cancer: Evidence of a potential biomarker.

Background & Objective: MiRNAs are a systematic class of small non-coding RNAs with impending role as tumor biomarkers. Our objective was to identify the level of expression of Mir-195 in patients with breast cancer along with its correlation with clinicopathologic features.

Methods: A total of 209 females in which 139 histologically diagnosed breast cancer (BC) cases and 70 healthy controls matched for age, their relative clinical and histopathological findings were recorded from their laboratory reports and hospital record of the patients.
