Interestingly, MALAT1 high level correlated with stage 1 (OS HR = 0.27, P = 0.011; FP HR = 0.3 P = 0.0239) and stage 3 (OS HR = 0.54, P = 0.0012; FP HR = 0.61 P = 0.0158) of gastric cancer patients but not stage 2 and stage 4 (except for OS; Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and gastric cancer.
