Potential Interest in Circulating miR-BART17-5p As a Post-Treatment Biomarker for Prediction of Recurrence in Epstein-Barr Virus-Related Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related micoRNAs (miRNAs), BamHI-A rightward transcripts (BART)-miRNAs, are released in a stable form from viable cells, which are abundant in patients with EBV-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We estimated copy numbers of circulating miR-BART2-5p, miR-BART17-5p, and...
