Urine miRNA signature as a potential non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in cervical cancer

Abstract MicroRNAs as cancer biomarkers in serum, plasma, and other body fluids are often used but analysis of miRNA in urine is limited. We investigated the expression of selected miRNAs in the paired urine, serum, cervical scrape, and tumor tissue specimens from the women with cervical precancer a...
