Among these lncRNAs, LOH12CR2, ERCC8.AS1, LINC02985, LINC00520, and LINC00567 have been previously demonstrated to exert crucial roles in the progression of various tumors, including GC, while others were reported for the first time (Luan et al., 2020; Lina, 2021; Rothzerg et al., 2021; Tseng et al., 2021; Liu B. et al., 2022). This evidence concerns the gene ERCC8 and gastric cancer.
