Potential biomarker of circulating hsa-miR-1273g-3p level for detection of recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.

Purpose: Ovarian cancer (OC) is first gynaecologic cancer that causes women death and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal ovarian cancer type. While treatment is commonly successful, some cases (10-20%) show resistance to chemotherapy which is followed by recurrence. MicroRNA (miRNA) based diagnosis methods are slightly important for recurrent ovarian cancer diagnosis.
