Relative tsRNA abundance measured by qRT-PCR (Ct values) in plasma from healthy controls and early/late-stage HGSOC patients was used to build and validate a logistic regression model, showing high sensitivity and specificity.

the lack of reliable biomarkers. This study investigated the potential of tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) as non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers using liquid biopsy. Using qRT-PCR, we analyzed the relative Ct values of selected tsRNAs in plasma samples from healthy controls and patients with early-and late-stage HGSOC. A logistic regression model constructed using the relative Ct value of the selected tsRNA demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for distinguishing ovarian cancer patients from healthy controls, including those with early-stage disease. The model was validated in a multi-center cohort, and analysis confirmed the dysregulation of this tsRNA in tumor tissue compared to normal tissue. These findings suggest that this single plasma tsRNA may serve as a promising biomarker for early HGSOC detection, supporting its potential clinical utility pending further mechanistic studies.  \nKeywords  \novarian cancer, molecular biomarkers, diagnostic  \nReceived: 2 March 2025; Revised: 23 February 2026; Accepted: 7 June 2026  \nIntroduction  \nOvarian cancer (OC), with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) accounting for the majority of pathological subtypes, is one of the most lethal malignancies in gynecology due to its insidious symptoms and the difficulty of early diagnosis. 1,2 Despite the availability of various screening methods for early detection of OC, including imaging techniques (ultrasound, CT, MRI), blood biomarker assessments (e.g., CA-125, HE4), and multifarious diagnostic models (e.g., the ROMA model), yet none of these methods has demonstrateed satisfactory efficacy and convenience, resulting in only a limited number of cases being detected at early stages.3,4 This delayed detection greatly complicates treatment, leading to poor cure rates and  \n1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, P.
