Increased levels of microRNA-320 in blood serum and plasma is associated with imminent and advanced lung cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-07)Lung cancer (LC) incidence is increasing globally and altered levels of microRNAs (miRNAs) in blood may contribute to identification of individuals with LC. We identified miRNAs differentially expressed in peripheral blood at LC diagnosis and evaluated, in pre-diagnostic blood specimens, how long before diagnosis expression changes of such candidate miRNAs could be detected. We identified upregulated ... -
