Upregulated in BC tissues and plasma; diagnostic AUC 0.8087; associated with tumor size; improved sensitivity/specificity when combined with CA-15-3 and CEA
circHIPK3 (hsa_circ_0000284) is up-regulated in breast cancer tissues and patient plasma. It shows diagnostic utility (AUC 0.8087) and its high expression is associated with larger tumor size; combining it with CA-15-3 and CEA improves diagnostic performance.
