  1. The AUC for detecting stage I NSCLC was calculated for each individual miRNA. Most of these miRNAs were overexpressed in blood cells according to the literature and reported as circulating diagnostic markers in other human cancers. PubMed IDs (PMID) were provided. NA: not assessed; NS: not significant.
