The expression levels of LINC00853, LINC00634, LINC01535, GAPLINC, and AC017002.1 were significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues than in non-cancerous adjacent tissues (P ≤ 0.05), confirming that these five lncRNAs were differentially expressed in the EGC samples. This evidence concerns the gene LINC00853 and gastric cancer.
