Diagnostic Value of Plasma Long Non-coding RNA HOTTIP as a Non-invasive Biomarker for Colorectal Cancer ( A Case- Control Study)
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with various cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC), could be collected from body fluids easily. Our aims were to determine the expression level of HOTTIP lncRNA in plasma samples of healthy individuals and CRC patients as well as their relationship with clinico-pathological characteristics of patients. First, total RNA was extracted from the plasma...
متن کاملColorectal and Vulvar Synchronous Cancer: A Case Report
Synchronous cancer is referred to two or more histological distinct malignancies diagnosed during the same hospital admission. Globally more than 1 million people get colorectal cancer yearly resulting in about 0.5 million deaths. Vulvar cancer is the fourth most common gynecologic cancer (following the corpus uterine cancer, cancer of ovary and cervix) and comprises only 4 percent of malignanc...
متن کاملMicroRNA signatures: novel biomarker for colorectal cancer?
Aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression might be of potential use as diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for cancers. We reviewed studies published until March 2011 which assessed expression of miRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC)/adenoma tissue and normal colorectal mucosa and in plasma of CRC/adenoma patients and healthy controls. Overall, 20 studies that investigated miRNA expression in tissue and...

INTRODUCTION Symptoms of ovarian cancer are often vague and consequently a high proportion of women with ovarian cancer are not referred to the appropriate clinic. OBJECTIVE To identify diagnostic factors for ovarian cancer. DESIGN A qualitative and quantitative study. SETTING Four UK hospitals. SAMPLE One hundred and twenty-four women referred to hospital with suspected ovarian maligna...
متن کاملA review on miRNAs as new biomarkers for colorectal cancer
Background & Objective: Since colorectal cancer does not often have phenotypic symptoms in the early stages, the study of biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of the tumor is very important. MicroRNAs are one of the most important biomarkers which attract the attention of many researchers due to a variety of reasons, including their non-invasive nature; these molecules are a group of non-...
