technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of biological detection, in particular to a group of microRNA biomarkers for early diagnosis of lung cancer and applications thereof. Background technique
[0002] Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, and its 5-year survival rate has improved only marginally over the past 3 years. Before reaching the advanced stage, lung cancer has no obvious clinical symptoms. More than 75% of lung cancer patients are diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic lung cancer, and the late diagnosis of three quarters of lung cancer patients is the main reason for the low survival rate. The 5-year survival rate of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is approximately 50%-70%, compared with 5%-15% and less than 2% for patients with stage III and stage IV NSCLC, respectively. Early diagnosis of lung cancer patients can effectively reduce their mortality. Chest x-rays and sputum cytolo...
