Identification of microRNA biomarkers of response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in esophageal adenocarcinoma using next generation sequencing
Annals of Surgical Oncology Aug 09, 2018
Chiam K, et al. - Whether microRNAs (miRNAs) can predict outcomes following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy was evaluated via analyzing endoscopic biopsies from esophageal adenocarcinomas attained before neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and esophagectomy. Relapse-free survival was correlated with two miRNA ratios (miR-4521/miR-340-5p and miR-101-3p/miR-451a). Cox regression analysis revealed that factors significantly linked with survival include pretreatment expression of these two miRNA ratios, pretreatment tumor differentiation, posttreatment AJCC histopathological tumor regression grading, and posttreatment tumor clearance/margins.
