Second, the LINC00152 mRNA levels were increased in the patients with larger tumor sizes (>5 cm in diameter, P = 0.009, Table 1), increased vascular invasion (P = 0.015, Table 1) and with lymph node metastasis (P < 0.001, Table 1). Here, CYTOR is linked to metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
