A microRNA gene signature for identification of lung cancer

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, compounded by late diagnosis. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are recently discovered short, noncoding genes that play essential roles in tissue differentiation during normal development and tumorigenesis. miRNA profiles across all histologic grades can provide a reliable and standardized method for the identification of lung cancer.
