Background Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors and poses a substantial threat to human health. PSA or enhanced MRI is widely used in prostate cancer screening or diagnosis. However, false-positive PSA or enhanced MRI results can lead to misdiagnosis and incorrect puncture biopsy, while false-negative PSA or enhanced MRI results can lead to missed diagnosis and delayed treatment. There is an urgent need to find convenient, economical and non-invasive diagnostic methods to reduce the PSA or enhanced MRI false-negative and false-positive rates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of YiDiXie™-SS, YiDiXie™-HS and YiDiXie™-D in prostate cancer. Patients and methods The study finally included 464 subjects with positive PSA test (prostate cancer group, n=292; BPH group, n=172).

Abstract Prostate cancer is the fifth leading cause of male cancer mortality and poses a serious threat to men's health worldwide. PSA testing is widely used in prostate cancer screening, but its high false-positive rate leads to unnecessarily high subsequent testing costs, mental anguish and potential physical harm to patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a convenient, cost-effective and non-invasive diagnostic method to assist in reducing the false-positive rate of PSA screening. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum MicroRNA expression in patients with prostate cancer. We selected 10 miRNAs in the literature that were associated with prostate cancer. Afterwards, we measured the expression levels of these miRNAs in serum of 112 prostate cancer patients and healthy controls through a training phase and a validation phase. By plotting receiver operating characteristic curve, the miRNAs with the highest diagnosis value were chosen. Then, a set of miRNAs with the top diagnostic value was identified using stepwise logistic regression. The findings showed that 5 kinds of miRNAs (let-7b-5p, miR-15a-5p, miR-133a-3p, miR-15b-5p, miR-144-3p) were abnormally expressed in the serum of prostate cancer patients. The diagnostic panel constructed with these 3 miRNAs including let-7b-5p, miR-15a-5p miR-15b-5p and which have high specificity and sensitivity in detecting prostate cancer (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.899). Our study illustrates the potential of a three-microRNA panel in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, which can help in the early detection of prostate cancer and may even assist in reducing the false-positive rate of PSA screening.
Background Cancer is a serious threat to the whole of humanity. The Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) test is expected to solve the problem of “Universal cancer screening”.

Patients and methods 11094 subjects were finally included in this study (the malignant tumor group, n = 4405; the normal control group, n = 6689). The malignant tumor group included all major solid and hematological malignant tumor types. The sensitivity and specificity of YiDiXie™-HS and YiDiXie™-SS were evaluated, respectively. Results The overall sensitivity of YiDiXie™-HS for different cancer types and stages was 90.1% (89.2% - 90.9%; 3971/4405), and its specificity was 89.7% (89.0% - 90.4%; 6002/6689).

YiDiXie™-HS and YiDiXie™-SS can replace existing cancer screening tests and are expected to solve the world problem of “Universal cancer screening”. Clinical trial number ChiCTR2200066840.
Background Gastric cancer poses a severe risk to public health and has a substantial financial impact. Tumor markers such as CEA, CA125, CA19-9, and others, as well as the fecal occult blood test (FOBT), are frequently utilized for gastric cancer screening and initial diagnosis. However, false-positive results of FOBT, CEA, CA125, and CA19-9 can lead to misdiagnosis and erroneous gastroscopy, while their false-negative results can lead to missed diagnosis and delayed treatment. Finding practical, affordable, and non-invasive diagnostic techniques is crucial to lowering the false-positive and false-negative rates of FOBT and other markers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of YiDiXie ™-SS, YiDiXie™-HS and YiDiXie™-D in gastric cancer.

Background: Gallbladder cancer is a grave threat to human health and poses a severe economic burden. Enhanced CT is extensively used in the diagnosis of gallbladder tumors. However, false-positive results of enhanced CT can lead to misdiagnosis. As a result, patients have to bear unnecessary mental pain, expensive surgery and examination costs, surgical trauma, organ removal, loss of function, and even serious perioperative complications. False-negative enhanced CT results can lead to delayed treatment. Patients will thus have to bear the adverse consequences of negative prognosis, high treatment costs, poor quality of life, and short survival. There is an urgency to find convenient, cost-effective and noninvasive diagnostic methods to decrease the false-negative and false-positive rates of gallbladder-enhanced CT. The goal of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of YiDiXie™-SS, YiDiXie™-HS and YiDiXie™-D in gallbladder cancer. Patients and methods: Fifty study subjects (malignant group, n=12; benign group, n=38 cases) were finally recruited in the study. Remaining serum samples from the subjects were collected and tested by applying YiDiXie™ all-cancer detection kit (YiDiXie™ all-cancer detection kit) to assess the sensitivity and specificity of YiDiXie™-SS, YiDiXie™-HS and YiDiXie™-D, respectively. Results: YiDiXie™-SS had a sensitivity of 100% (95% CI: 75.8% - 100%) and a specificity of 65.8% (95% CI: 49.9% - 78.8%). YiDiXie™-HS had a sensitivity of 91.7% (95% CI: 64.6% - 99.6%) and a specificity of 84.2% (95% CI: 69.6% - 92.6%). YiDiXie™-D had a sensitivity of 41.7% (95% CI: 19.3% - 68.0%) and a specificity of 97.4% (95% CI: 86.5% - 99.9%). YiDiXie™-SS had a sensitivity of 100% (95% CI: 64.6% - 100%) and its specificity was 60.0% (95% CI: 31.3% - 83.2%) in patients with positive enhanced CT. This implies that the application of YiDiXie™-SS decreases the false-positive rate of enhanced CT of the gallbladder by 60.0% (95% CI: 31.3% - 83.2%) with essentially no increase in the leakage of gallbladder cancer. YiDiXie™-HS has a sensitivity of 80.0% (95% CI: 37.6% - 99.0%) in patients with a negative enhanced CT, and its specificity was 85.7% (95% CI: 68.5% - 94.3%). This implies that the application of YiDiXie™-HS reduces the false-negative rate of enhanced CT by 80.0% (95% CI: 37.6% - 99.0%). YiDiXie™-D has a sensitivity of 28.6% (95% CI: 5.1% - 64.1%) in patients with a positive enhanced CT and a specificity of 100% (95% CI: 72.2% - 100%). This implies that YiDiXie™-SS decreases the false positive rate of enhanced CT by 100% (95% CI: 72.2% - 100%). Conclusion: YiDiXie™-SS markedly decreased the rate of false-positive gallbladder-enhanced CT with basically no increase in deferred treatment of gallbladder cancer. YiDiXie™-HS significantly decreases the false-negative rate of gallbladder-enhanced CT. YiDiXie™-D significantly decreases the false-positive rate of gallbladder-enhanced CT. The YiDiXie™ test has an excellent diagnostic value in gallbladder cancer, and expected to address the problems of "high false-positive rate of enhanced CT" and "high false-negative rate of enhanced CT" in gallbladder tumors.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Bladder carcinoma (BC) is a malignant tumor that is formed in the bladder of the genitourinary system. The diagnosis at an early stage is directly associated with the improved overall survival of BC patients because a later stage usually means a poorer prognosis. Current methods to diagnose BC have various limitations, thus urologists call for novel effective non-invasive diagnostic markers. Herein, we identified miRNAs which can be used for the diagnosis of BC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with BC (n = 112) and healthy individuals (n = 112) were recruited and enrolled in this study. The quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was carried out for the measurement of miRNAs expression in serum. A two-phase test was proceeded for the identification, selection, and confirmation of the miRNAs that could be used for BC diagnosis. A backward stepwise logistic regression (BSLR) was conducted to establish a model containing these miRNAs with superior diagnostic performance. In addition, bioinformatics and survival analysis was exerted by analyzing database in Mirwalk, Enrichr, and OncoLnc. RESULTS Five significantly aberrant miRNAs with good diagnostic value were validated, namely miR-129-2-3p, miR-29c-3p, miR-149-3p, miR-138-5p, and miR-194-5p. Then three of them (miR-129-2-3p, miR-29c-3p, and miR-149-3p) were used to establish a diagnostic panel, in which the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.927 (95% CI: 0.876 to 0.962), providing both high sensitivity (92.68%) and specificity (80.49%). CONCLUSION In this study, a panel of three miRNAs (miR-129-2-3p, miR-29c-3p, and miR-149-3p) was developed, which could be used for the diagnosis of BC sensitively and specifically.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) stands as the most prevalent form of urogenital cancer. However, there is currently no universally accepted method for predicting the prognosis of RCC. MiRNA holds great potential as a prognostic biomarker for RCC.

Background Ovarian cancer is a serious risk to human health and causes a heavy economic burden. Ultrasound is widely used in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors. However, false-positive ultrasound results can lead to false diagnosis, and patients will have to bear unnecessary mental pain, expensive surgery and examination costs, surgical trauma, organ removal, loss of function, and even serious complications in the perioperative period, and other adverse consequences. False-negative ultrasound results lead to delayed treatment, and patients will have to bear the consequences of poor prognosis, high treatment costs, poor quality of life, and poor survival. There is an urgent need to find convenient, cost-effective and non-invasive diagnostic methods to reduce the false-negative and false-positive rates of ovarian ultrasound. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of YiDiXie™-SS, YiDiXie™-HS and YiDiXie™-D in Ovarian cancer. Patients and methods The study finally included 79 study subjects (malignant group, n=12; benign group, n=67). Remaining serum samples from the subjects were collected and tested by applying YiDiXie™ all-cancer detection kit to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of YiDiXie™-SS, YiDiXie™-HS and YiDiXie™-D, respectively.
