In this study, we identified five prognostic lncRNA markers for the prediction of tumor recurrence in CA based on ceRNA hypothesis and data obtained from the TCGA database, in which, four of the selected lncRNA markers (AL078459.1, AL390066.1, STK4-AS1 and HOXA-AS3) were identified for the first time. The gene discussed is STK4; the disease is neoplasm.
