Aberrant Expression of MicroRNA-15a and MicroRNA-16 Synergistically Associates with Tumor Progression and Prognosis in Patients with Colorectal Cancer by Guangfa Xiao, Huihuan Tang, Wei Wei, Jian Li, Liandong Ji, Jie Ge

“…In addition, miR-15a and/or miR-16 downregulation were all significantly associated with advanced TNM stage (all P<0.05), poorly histological grade (all P<0.05), and positive lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). Moreover, the survival analysis identified miR-15a expression, miR-16 expression, and miR-15a/miR-16 combination as independent predictors of both unfavorable overall survival and disease-free survival. …”
