microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs and have been shown to play a crucial role in the colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis and progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance and prognostic value of miR-140-5p in CRC. The exact functions and the underlying molecular mechanisms of miR-140-5p in CRC was further determined.
