Identification of a three-miRNA panel in serum for bladder cancer diagnosis by a diagnostic test.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bladder cancer (BC) is the tenth most common cancer in the world. Serum microRNA (miRNA) profiles previously have been reported as non-invasive biomarkers in cancer screening. The non-invasive and reliable diagnostic biomarkers are urgently needed for detecting BC, while cystoscopy is invasive. Our study aimed to identify candidate miRNAs in serum as potential diagnostic biomarkers for BC detection.

Methods

This study was including the screening stage, training stage, and validation stage with 137 BC patients and 127 healthy controls (HCs). We identified the expression of 28 serum miRNAs from 5 BC pools and 3 HC pools in the initial screening stage. The other 112 BC patients and 112 HCs were randomly divided into training stage with 30 BC patients and 30 HCs and v
