In addition, we assessed the relationship between LINC00174 and the clinical data characteristics of CRC patients, and found that the level of LINC00174 was memorably associated with tumor size, lymphatic vessel invasion, tumor invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and tumor stage (p < 0.05, Table 1). The gene discussed is LINC00174; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
