Prognostic implication and functional exploration for microRNA-20a as a molecular biomarker of gastrointestinal cancer

Abstract Background It is generally accepted that microRNA-20a (miR-20a) is aberrantly expressed in gastrointestinal cancer (GIC), and may be associated with the prognosis of GIC patients. Nevertheless, the clinical prognostic value of miR-20a expression in GIC remains controversial. Methods We firs...
