Exosomal RNA-profiling of pleural effusions identifies adenocarcinoma patients through elevated miR-200 and LCN2 expression

Our study demonstrates that exosomal RNA profiling from pleural effusions can be used to identify patients with lung adenocarcinoma from individuals with benign processes and further proposes miR-200 microRNAs and LCN2 as diagnostic markers in lung cancer liquid biopsies.
