Circulating MicroRNAs Reflect Systemic Inflammation and Metabolic Dysfunction in Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma-Associated Cachexia.
BACKGROUND
Cachexia in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma is driven by systemic inflammation and malnutrition and is associated with poor survival. We evaluated whether circulating miRNAs can identify ESCC cachexia and reflect its inflammatory-nutritional phenotype.
METHODS
We enrolled 126 participants: 42 healthy controls and...
