Objective:
To investigate the serum levels and clinical significances of microRNA-205 (miR-205) and microRNA-221 (miR-221) in patients with colon cancer.
Methods:
A total of 172 patients with colon cancer (colon cancer group), 130 patients with benign diseases of colon (benign lesion group) and 70 healthy persons (control group) admitted to Central Hospital of Western Hainan from January 2016 to December 2018 were selected. The serum levels of miR-205 and miR-221 in each group were detected, and their relationships with clinicopathological characteristics of patients with colon cancer were analyzed. The diagnostic values of the serum levels of miR-205 and miR-221 in colon cancer were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the serum levels of miR-205 and miR-221.
Results:
The serum levels of miR-205 in colon cancer group, benign lesion group and control group were 2.84±0.96, 1.16±0.27 and 1.05±0.23, with a statistically significant diffe-rence (
