  Purpose

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a novel class of short RNAs which have shown to be dysregulated in a variety of cancers. Data of miRNA expression in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is very limited and microarray based genome wide miRNA expression profiles of cSCC have not been investigated so far.


Condition
Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Case Control
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Microarray Analysis of microRNA Expression Profiles in Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Further study details as provided by Ruhr University of Bochum:

Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA

cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) non.lesional skin


Enrollment: 7
Study Start Date: October 2011
Study Completion Date: December 2011
Primary Completion Date: December 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts
squamous cell carcinoma
non-lesional skin

Detailed Description:

Patients with cutaneous SCC were enrolled in the present study. Tumor biopsies were taken from the center of the tumor. Adjacent healthy skin was biopsied as a control (intraindividual control). miRNA expression profiles of specimen were detected by microarray miRNA expression profiling. Microarray results were confirmed by TaqMan real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
