Serum Levels of MicroRNA-371a-3p for Predicting the Histology of Postchemotherapy Residual Masses of Germ Cell Tumours
9 May 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Serum levels of microRNA-371a-3p (M371) represent a novel and sensitive biomarker of germ cell tumours (GCTs). This study analysed the utility of M371 to identify viable cancer (VC) in postchemotherapy (pc) residual masses with the underlying goal of avoiding overtreatment. METHODS: A multicentric, prospective diagnostic study was conducted in 180 GCT patients undergoing pc resection of...
