Some lncRNAs are proven prospective markers of diagnosis, prognosis, and potential treatment targets in STAD, including EMT-associated lncRNA induced by TGFβ1 (ELIT-1) (20), LINC00346 (21), gastric cancer-associated lncRNA 1 (22) and gastric cancer metastasis-associated long noncoding RNA (23). The gene discussed is TGFB1; the disease is gastric cancer.
