Nevertheless, by using multivariate analysis, the authors could show that the combination of both miR-939 and SLC34A2 are indicators of poor prognosis and tumour recurrence in gastric cancer patients, pointing that miR-939 inhibits the SLC34A2/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway, which is activated in gastric cancer. The gene discussed is SLC34A2; the disease is gastric cancer.
