Sample information

Description: High miR-21 expression in cancer cells was an independent prognostic factor associated with poor progression-free survival, as well as older age and higher International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage.

Sample type : tissue

Sample method: in situ hybridization (ISH)/qRT‑PCR/ISH analysis/Immunohistochemistry

Expression pattern : high expression(mean TS≥4)

Expression elevation: The miR-21 signals were semi-quantitatively evaluated with the following intensity score (IS): 0, negative; 1, weak; 2, moderate; and 3, strong; and proportional score (PS): 0, none; 1, 1–10%; 2, 10–50%; and 3,>51%. The total score (TS) was calculated by adding IS and PS. We evaluated miR21 expression in cancer cells and stromal cells separately.
