Characteristics of patients and Let-7a levels
Data are presented as the mean ΔCt value (CtLet-7a value − Ctreference gene value) ± SD. Therefore, the higher the expression the smaller the ΔCt value. RNU48 was the secondary reference gene.
Abbreviations: Ct, cycle threshold; ECOG, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; Let-7a, Lethal-7a; SD, standard deviation.
