Direct Assay of miR-223, miR-145, and miR-16 by a Novel Method of Mimic PCR in Serum of Breast Cancer Patients
The role of microRNAs (miRs) is shown as a biomarker whose expression level changes have been associated with cancer development and progression. Circulating miRNAs have been postulated as biomarkers for breast cancer. Detection and diagnosis of miRNA markers could provide an improved and sensitive method in the clinical application. In this study, we applied and improved the effective approach...

Objective The mortality of patients with locally advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is high, and pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is associated with improved prognosis. This retrospective study was designed and powered to investigate the ability of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) to predict pat...
