Reference

Gastrointestinal

 Liver

Serum

miR-18a, miR-221

miR-222, miR-224

Commercial Reagent

All four miRNAs were elevated in patients with HCC

[98]

Serum

miR-665,

Commercial Reagent

Tumor size directly correlated with levels of miR-665

[92]

 Hepatocellular carcinoma

(HCC)

Plasma

miR-92a, miR-122

DC

Increased levels of miR-21 and miR-125b in HCC patients

[94]

Dysregulation of miR-92 levels is indicative of HCC development

[100]

 Pancreatic

Plasma

miR-196a

miR-1246

miR-21, miR-155, and miR-31

DC, Commercial Reagent

Biomarker of localized pancreatic cancer

[82, 148]

Saliva

miR‑1246 and miR‑4644

Total Exosome Isolation

miR‑1246 and miR‑4644, the results yielded an increased AUC of 0.833

[81]

serum

Glypican-1

DC

Levels of GPC1 + crExos correlate with tumor burden and survival in patients pre- and post-surgical tumor resection

Plasma of CRC patients

Copine III(CPNE3)

Commercial reagent

Increased expression colorectal cancer(CRC)

[104]

Hematological Malignancies

 Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

(AML)

Tumor-derived exosomes (TEX)

Leukemia-associated antigens (LAA)
