Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the demographic influences of serological miRNA levels in oesophageal cancer and it's use as an indicator of the disease progression.
Methods: The quantification of miRNA was examined in 51 newly diagnosed ESCC patients by means of quantitative ELISA kits utilised according to the manufacturer's protocol. Demographic parameters were recorded and evaluated against the level of miRNA.
Results : Our study showed that they were no significant relationship between the level of miRNAs and the studied parameters such as age, gender, alcohol, smoking, and oesophageal cancer severity.
Conclusion: The study revealed that while age, gender, alcohol consumption, and smoking demonstrated varying associations with miRNA levels, none reached statistical significance, emphasizing the complexity of these relationships. Furthermore, the study found no significant correlation between miRNA levels and the progression of ESCC, challenging the notion of using miRNAs as reliable indicators of cancer severity in this specific population.
