miR-193-5p, miR-1307-5p, and miR-671-5p: Potential biomarkers for chemoresistance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Measuring certain molecules in tumor biopsies could help predict which patients need stronger chemotherapy upfront.

This study identifies three tissue miRNAs as potential biomarkers for predicting chemoresistance in DLBCL. While plasma levels did not correlate with prognosis, tissue-based expression showed predictive value.

What the study was
