Serum microRNA and its applied prospect in tumor diagnosis and prognosis
血清microRNA在肿瘤诊断和预后评估中的应用

The aim of this paper is to introduce the relationship of the serum microRNAs and carcinogenesis and the progress of the serum microRNAs as the potential clinical biomarkers of various cancers. Though much difficulty remains in the serum microRNAs studies, more evidences indeed proved the associations between the serum microRNA profiles and the carcinogenesis. Moreover, the serum microRNAs detection is low-invasive and easy to handle, indicating the serum microRNAs might to be useful biomarkers for tumor diagnosis or prognosis.
