Abstract | ||
Purpose: We aimed to assess the rule of plasma miR-30b- 5P as a biomarker for early diagnosis of breast cancer (BrC). Patients and Methods: This case control study was conducted on 50 participants, females, newly diagnosed with breast cancer before receiving any treatment. Subjects were categorized into two groups: Group I (patient group): 35 adults, their age was (53.6 ± 12.20) years, are newly diagnosed BrC before any treatment and Group II (control group): 15 subjects, their age was (47.7 ± 9.59) years, apparently healthy matching age and sex with patients. Results: There is statistically significant difference regarding presence of lesions by Mammogram when compare cases with control (p < .001). And there is a significant elevation in the expression of miR - 30 b - 5p when comparing cases with control group (p < .001). Conclusion: Plasma miR-30b-5P can be used as a biomarker for early diagnosis of BrC. | ||
