Abstract:When brain metastasis develops, the prognosis of cancer is dismal. Insights into the biology of the primary cancer and the brain metastasis are necessary to inform more effective and targeted treatments. To study the role of microRNAs in brain metastasis, we performed differential expression profiling of 12 primary tumors and their paired brain metastases using smRNAseq (the 12 primary tumors included three non-small cell carcinomas, three melanomas, three endometrial carcinomas, one breast carcinoma, one thyr… Show more
