Plasma-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Circular RNAs Serve as Biomarkers for Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Breast cancer is the second cause of cancer-associated death among women and seriously endangers women’s health. Therefore, early identification of breast cancer would be beneficial to women’s health. At present, circular RNA (circRNA) not only exists in the extracellular vesicles (EVs) in plasma, b...

Therefore, early identification of breast cancer would be beneficial to women’s health. At present, circular RNA (circRNA) not only exists in the extracellular vesicles (EVs) in plasma, but also presents distinct patterns under different physiological and pathological conditions.
