NEAT1 and neoplasm: The results also indicated that NEAT1 expression was highly associated with tumor size (>3 cm vs. ≤3 cm; odds ratio [OR]=2.51, 95% CI: 1.27–4.99; p=0.009), TNM stage (III+IV vs. I+II; OR=4.17, 95% CI: 2.42–7.18; p=0.00001), and distant metastasis (OR=2.73, 95% CI: 1.28–5.79; p=0.01).
