ABSTRACT: Background
Breast cancer (BCa) is the leading cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are promising tools for diagnosis and prognosis. This study investigated the role of serum miRNAs and tumor markers (TMs) in the diagnosis of BCa.Methods
Differentially expressed miRNAs were screened from serum samples of BCa patients and healthy individuals via high-throughput sequencing. The expression of hsa-miR-1911-3p, hsa-miR-4694-5p, hsa-miR-548ao-5p, and hsa-miR-4804-3p in 169 BCa patients and 116 healthy controls was detected via qRT-PCR. Serum tumor-associated antigens were detected by chemiluminescence. Logistic regression was subsequently used to develop the miRNA panel I, TM panel II, and (miRNA + TM) panel III models.
