Time points for the application of lung cancer specific miRNAs. Specific tumor-associated miRNA signatures might detect the tumor prior to CT. After cancer resection and/or therapy (radiotherapy or chemotherapy) miRNAs might help in therapy monitoring and prognosis. MiRNAs may also be used for anti-cancer therapy instead of or in combination with radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The timeline at the bottom of the Figure shows the growths rate of a lung tumor with several doubling rates (adapted from Bach et al., 2007).
