Serum mature microRNA panel: A novel approach for primary prostate cancer diagnosis.

Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most common malignant tumor in males and a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality among men. Early detection is essential for improving outcomes. Although prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is widely used for PC screening, it suffers from high false positive and false negative rates.

A panel based on three-miRNAs as diagnostic biomarker for prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent malignancies affecting the male life cycle. The incidence and mortality of prostate cancer are also increasing every year. Detection of MicroRNA expression in serum to diagnose prostate cancer and determine prognosis is a very promising non-invasive modality.

Testing the accuracy of a four serum microRNA panel for the detection of primary bladder cancer: a discovery and validation study.

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the ten most common cancers worldwide with late detection and early age of diagnosis. There is abundant evidence that early detection and timely intervention can lead to a better prognosis of BC. Substantial evidence has indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs) are specific to different tumour types and are remarkably stable, indicating that serum miRNAs may serve as potential cancer diagnostic markers.
