EPIC1 and breast carcinoma: Finally, it should be noted that the principal objectives in the investigation of the use of lncRNAs as current molecular biomarkers in breast cancer have mostly been aimed at determining the biological function of lncRNA [100,101] or their ability to describe mammary tumors molecularly, as is the case of lncRNA EPIC1 described by Wang et al., which has been identified as an oncogene in breast cancer that promotes cell cycle and has been associated with poor overall survival (hazard ratio ~2, p-value = 0.005) [99].
