Abstract
Aim: Circulation miRNAs have become increasingly appreciated in the diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer. This study aims to identify and evaluate plasma miRNA-30a-5p as an early noninvasive biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer. Pateints & methods: Expression levels of plasma miRNA 30a-5p were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Receiver operating characteristic analysis and area under the curve were used to differentiate malignant from benign tumors and from healthy controls. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression were used to determine survival and prognosis. Results: Our results suggest that the level of miRNA-30a-5p in plasma might be a considerable early novel noninvasive diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for lung cancer. Conclusion: Prospective studies must be performed to confirm this new early novel noninvasive diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for lung cancer.
