<h4>Background</h4>MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding RNA molecules that act as regulators of gene expression. Circulating blood miRNAs offer great potential as cancer biomarkers. The objective of this study was to correlate the differential expression of miRNAs in tissue and blood in the identification of biomarkers for early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC).<h4>Methods</h4>The study was divided into two phases: (I) Marker discovery by miRNA microarray using paired cancer tissues (n = ...[more]
