Curated microRNAs in urine and blood fail to validate as predictive biomarkers for high-risk prostate cancer.

<h4>Purpose</h4>The purpose of this study was to determine if microRNA profiling of urine and plasma at radical prostatectomy can distinguish potentially lethal from indolent prostate cancer.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>A panel of microRNAs was profiled in the plasma of 70 p...
