## Abstract ## Background Recent studies have identified unique small ribonucleic acids called microRNAs (miRNAs) in colonic tumour tissue and blood that may accurately diagnose the presence of colorectal cancer and help predict disease recurrence. This review explores the potential role of these
## Abstract MicroRNA (miRNA) opens up a new field for molecular diagnosis of cancer. However, the role of circulating miRNAs in plasma/serum in cancer diagnosis is not clear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether plasma miRNAs can be used as biomarkers for the early detection of colorect
