Integrating these results with previous reports in the literature27, 30, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 suggested that the LINC01871‐mediated ceRNA network could affect the distant metastasis of CRC by regulating mainly the immune microenvironment rather than the stemness, autophagy, focal death, or radiosensitivity of CRC cells. Here, LINC01871 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
