Abstract: Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) is a class of noncoding small RNA molecules. As tumor biomarkers, circulating miRNAs deregulation is associated with the initiation and progression of human cancer. Studies indicate that circulating miRNAs have great potential in the early diagnosis and prognosis of primary or metastatic tumors (colorectal, breast, prostate, hepatocellular and ovarian cancer and other epithelial cancer).
