In western countries, cardiovascular (CV) disease and cancer are the leading causes of
death in the ageing population. Recent epidemiological data suggest that cancer is more …

Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas
(ESCC) exhibit a survival rate of less than 60% and 40%, respectively. Late‐stage diagnosis …

Esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) has a high mortality rate. MicroRNA (miR)‑92a‑
3p is considered to be a tumor promotor and an oncomiR. The aim of the present study was …

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has high recurrence and mortality rates despite
advances in diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to identify new biomarkers …

For more than two decades, the view of the roles of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has been
radically changing. These RNA molecules that are transcribed from our genome do not have …

Due to the rapid progression and poor prognosis of esophageal cancer (EC), the early
detection and diagnosis of early EC are of great value for the prognosis improvement of …

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is often diagnosed at advanced stages and is
associated with poor survival rates. Increasing evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) …

Abstract MiR-16-5p, a member of the miR-16 family, has been reported to be abnormal
expression in tumor tissues and blood of tumor patients, and also downregulated in most …

Head and neck cancers (HNCs) comprise a heterogeneous group of tumors that extend from
the oral cavity to the upper gastrointestinal tract. The principal etiologic factors for oral …

Abstract Background Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in microRNA
(miRNA) binding sites can affect the interactions between miRNAs and target genes, which …
