| Biological function: |
Associated with aggressive behaviors of SCC (deeper stromal invasion and lymph node metastasis) and predicts prognosis (OS and RFS). |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Not explored in SCC in this study. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
not specified |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; RNase R Treatment; divergent primers PCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Cohort Study; Survival Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
Decreased serum circFoxO3a is associated with deeper stromal invasion, positive lymph node metastasis, and poorer OS/RFS; serum circFoxO3a is an independent unfavorable prognostic factor and a prognostic biomarker for SCC. |
| Description: |
Serum circFoxO3a is down-regulated in squamous cervical cancer patients. Lower serum circFoxO3a correlates with aggressive clinicopathologic features and independently predicts worse OS and RFS, supporting its use as a noninvasive prognostic biomarker. |
