Salivary microRNAs May Be A Valuable Biomarker To Detect Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

ABSTRACT: Early surgery is vital in the treatment of highly fatal pancreatic cancer (PC). But there is no valuable and non-invasive biomarker to screen PC currently. Studies showed many salivary molecules can detect several systemic diseases. We aimed to investigate whether salivary microRNAs (miRNAs) can act as a biomarker to detect resectable PC. By Agilent microarray salivary miRNAs were profiled from saliva samples from 8 patients with resectable PC and 8 healthy controls. Candidate biomarkers discovered from the profile were subjected to validation by qPCR.
