Brief Title: miRNA and Relevant Biomarkers of BC Patients Undergoing Neoadjuvant Treatment
Official Title: MicroRNA and Relevant Biomarkers of Breast Cancer in Patients Undergoing Neoadjuvant Treatment
Study ID: NCT03779022
Brief Summary: MicroRNA (miRNA) is a type of endogenous non-coding RNA. They are responsible for post-transcriptional regulation and participate in many vital biological processes. Expression profiling has shown that miRNAs can distinguish between normal breast and tumor tissues. In recent years, circulating miRNAs have become promising biomarkers based on their stability and their non-invasive testing and feasibility in clinical practices.
Detailed Description: Current reports showed that serum microRNA expression could be used as an early marker for determining the breast cancer risk. The concentrations of some circulating microRNAs in human breast cancer have been correlated with tumor development and progression. Aberrant miRNA expression may be involved in drug resistance to various chemotherapeutic agents in breast cancer. Therefore, we hope to investigate the value of miRNAs in predicting the effect in breast cancer neoadjuvant treatment.
