Plasma MicroRNA-21 Concentration May Be a Useful Biomarker in Glioblastoma Patients
14 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs are proposed as plasma biomarkers in cancer. Glioblastoma is the most frequent primary brain tumor of adults. MicroRNA-21 was shown to induce glioblastoma growth. AIMS: To evaluate the circulating microRNA-21 in glioblastoma patients. METHODS: MicroRNA-21 copies in glioblastoma plasma (n = 10, before surgery and during/after concomitant chemoradiotherapy), control plasma (n = 10), and tissue...
