GHET1, a novel identified lncRNA, was significantly over‐expressed in the gastric cancer.36 It has been confirmed to be an oncogene through some biological process in a variety of cancers although the role of GHET1 in cancers remains unclear yet.17, 21, 31, 35 In addition, the prognosis value of GHET1 expression in cancer and association between high expression of GHET1 and tumour stage, differentiation, has also been widely reported.21, 22, 30. Here, GHET1 is linked to gastric cancer.
