BIRC5 and rectal cancer: The miRNAs that appear to directly target BIRC5 are miR-145-5p, miR-150-5p, miR-195-5p, and miR-650; both miR-145-5p and miR-150-5p were associated with better survival after diagnosed with CRC overall or with rectal cancer specifically when upregulated in CRC tumor tissue.
