Abstract
We aimed to value the diagnostic potential of serum miR-1297 in esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC). Its expression level was detected in 156 pairs of patients with ESCC and healthy volunteers using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method. It was statistically decreased in ESCC patients compared with healthy controls. AUC based on serum miR-1297 was 0.840 ± 0.035 in discovery group and 0.837 ± 0.034 in validation group. Further analysis on early-stage patients revealed that the AUC was 0.819 ± 0.053 in discovery group and 0.814 ± 0.044 in validation group. Its sensitivity and specificity were promising. In conclusion, serum miR-1297 can serve as an ideal indicator for the diagnosis of ESCC.Entities:
