A serum piRNA signature as promising non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for colorectal cancer

Abstract excerpt

Purpose: Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a novel class of small non-coding RNAs, which are not easily degraded but detectable in human body fluids. Recent studies have shown that aberrant piRNA expression is a signature feature across multiple tumor types. However, the expressions of piRNAs in serum of tumor patients and their potential clinical values remain largely unclear. Patients and methods:...
