  1. aTumour/normal (T/N) ratio: fold change in miR-101 expression in LSCC tissue to the corresponding adjacent normal tissue. MiR-101 expression was measured by real-time PCR and was normalized to an external control (human U6 gene). Values were quantified using the 2−ΔΔCt method. Values are presented as the mean ± SD.
