Cancer early detection: early detection of ovarian cancer by blood test – microRNA diagnostic model in blood
Researchers at the National Cancer Research Center and Molecular Cell Therapeutics Research Project conducted ‘Ovarian Cancer with Difficult Early Diagnosis and Bad Prognosis’ with high accuracy (sensitivity 99%, specificity 100%) of ovarian cancer Successful creation of detection / diagnostic model.
Points of this research
Analysis of large scale human microRNA in human serum based on 4046 cases
Identification of significantly changing microRNAs in ovarian cancer patients
A combination of them, a diagnostic model for early detection of ovarian cancer with high precision
The research results were published in the UK scientific journal “Nature Communications”.
