LINC01569 and hypopharyngeal carcinoma: To investigate the role of LINC01569 in hypopharyngeal carcinoma, we first examined the expression level of LINC01569 in hypopharyngeal carcinoma and found a significant increase in LINC01569 expression in human hypopharyngeal carcinoma tissues compared to that in normal tissues using the GEPIA 2 online database (Fig. 1A).
