Background: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a major cause of cancer mortality worldwide. The occurrence and development of colon cancer is regulated by complex mechanisms that require further exploration. Recently. long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were found to be related to the mortality of colon cancer patients through their participation in competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks. https://www.roneverhart.com/7-Plush-Oswald-Octopus/
