Development of a low-cost platform to quantify miRNAs using minimally invasive samples and their application as a diagnostic tool for cancer screening. Among the desirable features for the application of a new diagnostic tool, this strategy may reduce the technical barriers to early cancer diagnosis and contribute to the application of miRNAs quantification as a powerful screening method. (1) Use of minimally invasive samples. (2) Few steps of sample processing until the complete miRNA isolation. (3) miRNA quantification and data analysis. (4) Clinical interpretation of results and effective communication of them between the health professional and the patient
