Expression of circulating miR-101 and miR-744 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma and their performance as diagnostic biomarkers

Our previous study showed that miR-101 and miR-744 were deregulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tissues as compared to control tissues with certain diagnostic performance. Thus, we would like to observe the expression of both miRNAs in plasma of NPC patients as compared to control subjects and...
