The results indicated that TP73-AS1 expression markedly correlates with TNM stage (OR = 3.27,95% CI:2.43–4.39, P < 0.00001), tumor size (OR = 3.00, 95%CI:2.08–4.35, P < 0.00001), lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.77, 95%CI:1.42–5.38,P < 0.00001) and distant metastasis (OR = 4.50,95%CI:2. The gene discussed is TP73; the disease is neoplasm.
