Identification of a Distinct miRNA Regulatory Network in the Tumor Microenvironment of Transformed Mycosis Fungoides
Large cell transformation of mycosis fungoides (LCT-MF) occurs in 20–50% of advanced MF and is generally associated with poor response and dismal prognosis. Although different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis, little is known about the role of microRNAs (miRs) in transcripti...
