Project Abstract

Abstract
Cancer remains a significant global health challenge, with early detection playing a crucial role in improving patient outcomes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for cancer detection due to their stability and specificity. This research aims to explore the role of miRNA biomarkers in the early detection of cancer, focusing on their potential diagnostic value in various cancer types. The introduction provides a background of the study, highlighting the importance of early cancer detection and the limitations of current diagnostic methods. The problem statement emphasizes the need for more sensitive and specific biomarkers to enhance early detection efforts. The objectives of the study include investigating the expression patterns of specific miRNAs in cancer samples and evaluating their diagnostic potential. The literature review delves into existing research on miRNA biomarkers in cancer, discussing their roles in tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and as diagnostic tools. The review covers studies on specific miRNAs implicated in various cancer types and their potential as non-invasive biomarkers for early detection. The research methodology outlines the experimental design, sample collection methods, miRNA expression analysis techniques, and statistical analyses employed in this study. It details the criteria for selecting cancer samples, the miRNA profiling methods utilized, and the statistical tests used to assess the diagnostic accuracy of miRNA biomarkers. The discussion of findings chapter presents the results of miRNA expression analysis in cancer samples, highlighting specific miRNAs that show differential expression patterns between cancer and normal tissues. The chapter discusses the diagnostic potential of these miRNAs, their sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values in early cancer detection. In conclusion, this research underscores the significance of miRNA biomarkers in the early detection of cancer and their potential to improve current diagnostic strategies. The findings suggest that specific miRNAs have diagnostic value in different cancer types, emphasizing the importance of further validation studies and clinical trials to translate these findings into clinical practice. In summary, this research contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of miRNA biomarkers for early cancer detection. By elucidating the role of miRNAs in cancer pathogenesis and their diagnostic potential, this study provides valuable insights that can advance precision medicine approaches in oncology.
