Abstract:Dysfunction of microRNA (miRNA ) is associated with occurrence and development of tumor. MiRNA are very stable in blood serum, significantly tumorrelated and tissuespecific. The detection of serum miRNA is convenient, littleinvasive and fast, and then serum miRNA can be used as a new biomarker for tumor diagnosis.
