METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF PROGNOSIS OF SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER, METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER, METHOD FOR AMELIORATION OF PROGNOSIS OF SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER, AND METHOD FOR SCREENING FOR THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER, EACH UTILIZING MIRNA

摘要

Disclosed are a method for predicting the prognosis of small cell lung cancer, a method for treating small cell lung cancer, a method for ameliorating the prognosis of small cell lung cancer, a therapeutic agent for small cell lung cancer, and a method for screening for a therapeutic agent for small cell lung cancer, each of which utilizes miRNA. Specifically disclosed are: a method for diagnosing the prognosis of a small cell lung cancer patient, which employs miR-153, miR-196a, miR-203 or miR-216a as a measure; a method for ameliorating the prognosis of small cell lung cancer, which employs the above-mentioned substance as a measure; a method for treating small cell lung cancer, which targets the above-mentioned substance; a therapeutic agent for small cell lung cancer; and a method for screening for a therapeutic agent for small cell lung cancer, which utilizes the above-mentioned substance.
