miR-638 is a new biomarker for outcome prediction of non-small cell lung cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding RNAs, mediate gene expression by either cleaving target mRNAs or inhibiting their translation. They have key roles in the tumorigenesis of several cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
