Although several patient studies reported that a high expression of UCA1 is correlated with bad disease prognosis in CRC (the number of patient of these studies N = 80 [108], N = 54 [109], N = 90 [110] and the N = 530 for the Asian meta-analysis [111]), no such evidence was observed in the TCGA COAD-READ study (Table 2). Here, UCA1 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
