Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention discloses the use of small RNA (miRNA; microRNA) fingerprints in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, and belongs to the technical fields of biomedicine, bioengineering and detection. Background technique
[0002] Malignant tumor of the ovary is one of the common malignant tumors of the female reproductive organs, and its incidence ranks third after cervical cancer and uterine body cancer (Jemal et al.; 2011). However, the mortality rate of epithelial ovarian cancer ranks first in all types of gynecological tumors, posing a serious threat to women's lives. Due to the complex embryonic development, tissue anatomy and endocrine function of the ovary, and the atypical early symptoms, it is quite difficult to distinguish the tissue type and benign from malignant ovarian tumors before operation. Among ovarian malignancies, epithelial carcinoma is the most common, accounting for about 80%-90% of ovarian cancers (Chan et al; 2006), followed by mali...
