Similarly, the expression levels of UCA1 and LINC00152 in HCC patients were significantly higher than those in patients with benign hepatopathy and healthy controls, and the combined detection of HULC, LINC00152 and AFP had even higher sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis, with AUC value of 0.912 and sensitivity and specificity of 82.9 and 88.2%, respectively [101]. Here, AFP is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
