Integrated analysis of competing endogenous RNA networks revealing five prognostic biomarkers associated with colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality around the world. The aim of this study was to determine the genes significantly associated with the overall survival (OS) of CRC patients and predict their function in the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulation networks. We constructed the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks according to the differentially expressed RNAs from the The Cancer Genome Atlas data sets...
