  1. Extracted RNA, enriched for small RNA, was analysed using the Agilent Small RNA Assay. The percentage of miRNA (10–35 nt) in each small RNA-enriched sample (< 200 nt) was determined.
  2. Abbreviations: MF = metastases free, BM = bone metastases, VBM = visceral and bone metstases, BEN = benign.
