Plasma microRNA expression signature involving miR-548q, miR-630 and miR-940 as biomarkers for nasopharyngeal carcinoma detection.

CONCLUSIONS: The present study demonstrated that three miRNAs (miR-548q, miR-630 and miR940) might be novel and useful biomarkers for NPC detection. A two-miRNA signature (miR-548q and miR940) may be considered as a better biomarker for NPC detection with relatively high sensitivity and specificity. Future studies with large sample sizes are needed for further validation. PMID: 30475754 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
