Down-regulation of the miRNA master regulators Drosha and Dicer is associated with specific subgroups of breast cancer

TLDR
The results suggest that down-regulation of Drosha and/or Dicer is not robustly associated with the outcome of breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy but preferentially observed in distinct subgroups of breast cancers.

MicroRNA expression profiles classify human cancers

TL;DR: A new, bead-based flow cytometric miRNA expression profiling method is used to present a systematic expression analysis of 217 mammalian miRNAs from 334 samples, including multiple human cancers, and finds the miRNA profiles are surprisingly informative, reflecting the developmental lineage and differentiation state of the tumours.

Oncomirs : microRNAs with a role in cancer

TL;DR: I MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an abundant class of small non-protein-coding RNAs that function as negative gene regulators as discussed by the authors, and have been shown to repress the expression of important cancer-related genes and might prove useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Oncomirs — microRNAs with a role in cancer

TL;DR: Evidence has shown that miRNA mutations or mis-expression correlate with various human cancers and indicates that miRNAs can function as tumour suppressors and oncogenes.

Pathological prognostic factors in breast cancer. I. The value of histological grade in breast cancer: experience from a large study with long-term follow-up.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that this method for histological grading provides important prognostic information and, if the grading protocol is followed consistently, reproducible results can be obtained.
