On the other hand, LncRNA Plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) is an oncogene which shows higher expression in NPC cells than normal nasopharyngeal epithelial tissue (64%, 60/94 vs. 18%, 6/33; p < 0.001), and higher expression of PVT1 resulted in worse progression-free survival (p = 0.0028) and overall survival (p = 0.0006) [105]. This evidence concerns the gene PVT1 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
