Table 2. The expression status of 11 miRNAs of the best combinations in the present study and in other researches.

The plus sign or minus sign before the fold change values indicated the deregulation status of miRNAs. Some values are absent because no specific value was listed in the corresponding reference. “+” represents upregulated while “−” represents downregulated. In the parentheses was stage information of patient cohorts in which the miRNA was applied as diagnostic marker.

miRNA=microRNA; TCGA=The Cancer Genome Atlas; NA=not assessed; AUC=area under curve.
