Implications of microRNA-197 downregulated expression in esophageal cancer with poor prognosis
“Implications of microRNA-197 downregulated expression in esophageal cancer with poor prognosis”, vol. 13, pp. 5574-5581, 2014.
, The aim of this study was to investigate the significance of the microRNA miR-197 expression level in relation to clinicopathological factors and prognoses of esophageal cancer (EC). MicroRNA was extracted using the Taqman® MicroRNA Assay from 46 EC patients at the same tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage, but with different prognoses, who underwent surgery. Paracancerous normal tissues were used as controls.
