Included in a four-circRNA-based cirScore that stratifies recurrence risk and is associated with shorter DFS and OS in high-risk (high cirScore) patients.
hsa_circ_0008039 is one of four circRNAs forming a prognostic cirScore for stage II/III colon cancer; higher cirScore predicts worse DFS/OS and higher recurrence risk. The study validates its circularity and expression for use in the classifier, but does not report a dedicated functional mechanism for this circRNA.
