...we analyzed the relationship between miR-216a-3p levels and tumor regression after sorafenib treatment by estimating miR-216a-3p expression levels in pretreatment biopsy tumor specimens from 51 HCC patients who received sorafenib with or without surgery. The miR-216a-3p levels were significantly higher in HCC patients that showed a positive response to sorafenib treatment compared to those with minimal or no response to sorafenib treatment...
