Furthermore, we also analyzed the correlation between LINC00958 expression and certain clinical parameters such as sex, age, smoking, tumor size, tumor grade, tumor number, and pathological T stage, and found that increased LINC00958 expression was correlated with tumor grade (P = 0.020) and pathological T stage (P = 0.039) in bladder cancer ​(Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene LINC00958 and urinary bladder cancer.
