SNHG5 and neoplasm: Furthermore, high SNHG5 expression was predictive of advanced TNM stage (OR: 1.988, 95% CI 1.205–3.278) and larger tumour size (OR: 1.571, 95% CI 1.090–2.264); moreover, there were nonsignificant relationships between SNHG5 expression and DM (OR: 0.449, 95% CI 0.077–2.630), lymph node metastasis (OR: 1.443, 95% CI 0.709–2.939), histological grade (OR: 2.098, 95% CI 0.910–4.838), depth of invasion (OR: 1.106, 95% CI 0.376–3.248), age (OR: 0.946, 95% CI 0.718–1.247) and sex (OR: 0.762, 95% CI 0.521–1.115).
