Differential MIR-21 Expression in Plasma From Mesenteric Versus Peripheral Veins: An Observational Study of Disease-free Survival in Surgically Resected Colon Cancer Patients

Findings on the role of plasma miR-21 expression in colorectal cancer are contradictory. Before reaching a peripheral vein (PV), microRNAs released by the tumor are dispersed throughout the body. We hypothesized that blood drawn from the mesenteric vein (MV) near the site of the primary tumor could...
