YTHDF1 is actively engaged in the ceRNA networks associated with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), featuring in interactions such as PAXIP1–AS1 with hsa–miR‐376c‐3p and YTHDF1, THUMPD3‐AS1 linked to hsa–miR‐655‐3p and YTHDF1, and SNHG20 in conjunction with hsa–miR‐655‐3p and YTHDF1.92 Here, PAXIP1 is linked to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
