DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT OPTION FOR HEAD-AND-NECK TUMOR USING MICRO-RNA AS BIOMARKER

摘要

Disclosed are: a method of utilizing specific microRNA as a biomarker for head-and-neck tumor; a method for the determination of head-and-neck tumor; a kit for the determination of head-and-neck tumor; and others.  These methods and the kit are characterized in that at least one microRNA selected from the microRNA groups consisting of miR-455-3p, miR-455-5p, miR-130b, miR-130b*, miR-801, miR-196a, miR-21, miR-31, miR-133b, miR-145 and miR-375 is used as a biomarker for head-and-neck tumor.
