Prognostic significance of red blood cell distribution width in gastrointestinal cancers: A meta-analysis.

Background: Many publications showed red blood cell distribution width (RDW) might associate with the prognosis of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, however, the agreement has not been reached because of controversial results. This meta-analysis aimed to explore the prognostic value of RDW in GI cancers.

Methods: Four common databases were comprehensively searched to look for relevant studies.

Prognostic role of long non-coding RNA TUG1 expression in various cancers: a meta-analysis.

Several studies were conducted to explore the prognostic role of long non-coding RNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (lncRNA TUG1) expression in various cancers, with contradictory. This study aims to summarize the prognostic role of lncRNA TUG1 expression in various cancers. Embase, PubMed and Cochrane Library were completely retrieved.

Tripartite motif containing 25 promotes proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer cells through TGF-β signaling.

Tripartite motif containing 25 (TRIM25) is a member of TRIM proteins and functions as an E3 (ubiquitin ligase). It has been found to act as an oncogene in gastric cancer cells and is abnormally expressed in cancers in female reproductive system. Here, we investigated the function of TRIM25 in colorectal cancer.
