ABSTRACT
One of the most prevalent malignant tumours is lung cancer. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have shown to have significant promise for lung cancer diagnosis and prognosis, according to a growing body of research. The researchers wanted to explore if serum exosomal miR-1246 has any treatment significance in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NON-SCLC). Real-time PCR was used to determine the stage of exosomal miR-1246 serum expression in NON-SCLC patients. The researchers next looked into the link regarding exosomal miR-1246 serum stages and NON-SCLC prognosis. In NON-SCLC patients, exosomal miR-1246 serum appearance was considerably higher. According to a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) research, serum exosomal miR-1246 was effective in discriminating NON-SCLC patients from normal controls and non-malignant respiratory illness patients. Following treatment, the amount of serum exosomal miR-1246 reduced but increased in cases of recurrence. Furthermore, the level of serum exosomal miR-1246 was connected to distant metastases and TNM stages in a significant way. According to a survival analysis, cases with severe levels of exosomal miR-1246 serum had reduced overall or disease-free survival. The level of exosomal miR-1246 serum was found to be an autonomous predictive issue for NON-SCLC in multi-variate analysis. Finally, exosomal miR-1246 serum may be a useful prognosis biomarker for non-small-cell lung cancer.
