Popis: Background Tumor-associated miRNAs have been detected in serum or plasma. We investigated whether plasma miRNA-199a-3p could be a potential circulating biomarker for early gastric cancer (EGC). Methods By using real-time qRT-PCR, the expression of miRNA-199a-3p were compared between these pre-operative plasmas from 30 EGC patients and 70 healthy controls, and between these pre-operative and post-operative plasmas. Further validation was on an independent set of plasmas from 50 EGC patients. Results The expression of miRNA-199a-3p (47.5 ± 6.5) in plasma in EGC patients was significantly higher than that from healthy controls (13.9 ± 2.7, P
