Some researchers found that a higher TINCR level is correlated with poor survival in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric cancer (GC), colorectal cancer (CRC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and breast cancer, because TINCR promotes cell apoptosis and migration [5, 16, 26, 27]. Here, TINCR is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
