Poor survival was associated with high genes expression, including CDKN2A, MEX3A, RPL39L, VARS, GSPT1, SNRPE, SSR1, and TIA1 in breast and colon cancer but not with lung cancer; and poor survival was associated with low genes expression, including PPARGC1B, EIF4E3, and SMAD9 in breast, colon, and lung cancer. This evidence concerns the gene SMAD9 and lung carcinoma.
