Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Despite recent advances in diagnosis and prognosis of breast carcinomas, noninvasive biomarkers have been poorly identified. We evaluated the biomarker potential of miR-21 and miR-155 in tissue and plasma specimens of Iranian Azeri patients.
