Early diagnosis and treatment result in a cure rate of over 95%. However, conventional serum tumor markers (STMs) such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which are recommended by NCCN and EAU guidelines, have limited sensitivity, often below 60%, which diminishes their clinical utility. Recently, miRNA-371a-3p, an embryonic stem cell-associated microRNA, has been identified as being specifically expressed in TGCTs. This microRNA can be reliably detected in peripheral blood and fulfills all seven Lange-Winfield criterias for tumor markers. Notably, miRNA-371a-3p has demonstrated superior diagnostic, therapeutic, and follow-up capabilities compared to conventional STMs in TGCTs. Its potential to replace conventional STMs in clinical practice is already recognized in several clinical guidelines.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A PubMed search using subject headings and free-text terms related to MicroRNA-371a-3p in TGCT management was conducted. Relevant references were also tracked, and key studies were reviewed based on predefined exclusion criteria.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Out of 368 identified studies, 67 met inclusion criteria. These studies focused on MicroRNA-371a-3p's discovery, detection methods, diagnostic utility in TGCTs, and cost-effectiveness. First identified over a decade ago, microRNA-371a-3p is now established as a highly specific blood-based marker for TGCTs, valuable for diagnosis, monitoring, and follow-up, and more cost-effective than conventional STMs.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>MicroRNA-371a-3p is a promising, highly sensitive marker for TGCTs, offering better performance and cost efficiency than conventional STMs, likely to become the next-generation diagnostic tool for TGCTs.</p>","PeriodicalId":14454,"journal":{"name":"International Urology and Nephrology","volume":" ","pages":"691-700"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142686881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
