In the Cox regression and Kaplan–Meier method which were applied to test the pertinence of the colon cancer’s biomarkers for the prognosis, only two significant genes were identified among the ceRNA network (SLC2A3, P = 0.029; hsa-miR-125b-5p, P = 0.022) (Figures 3B,C). Here, SLC2A3 is linked to malignant colon neoplasm.
