Increased microRNA-30a levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid as a diagnostic biomarker for lung cancer

Background MicroRNA-30a (miRNA-30a) levels have been shown to increase in the plasma of lung cancer patients. Herein, we evaluated the miRNA-30a levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of lung cancer patients as a potential biomarker for lung cancer diagnosis. Methods BALF miRNA-30a expres...
