NEAT1 and neoplasm: The meta-analysis for the association between increased NEAT1 expression and clinicopathological parameters was also analyzed in this study, and our results showed that increased NEAT1 expression was significantly associated with larger tumor size, lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stage, poor tumor differentiation, distant metastasis, and higher invasion depth, which may suggest that increased NEAT1 may be associated with advanced features of cancer.
