Serum miR-181a-5p, miR-214-3p, and miR-223-3p in epithelial ovarian cancer.
Early detection of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains challenging due to nonspecific symptoms and limitations of current biomarkers. Serum miR-181a-5p and miR-223-3p are significantly downregulated in EOC and exhibit moderate discriminatory capacity, suggesting that they may warrant further evaluation as components of future multimodal biomarker strategies.
