Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent malignant tumors worldwide. Colon cancer and rectal cancer are two different malignant types, and it is important to distinguish these two cancers. However, the physiological function of microRNA-3174 (miR-3174) in rectal cancer remains unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of miR-3174 in rectal cancer progression and to explore the possible underlying mechanism.
