Construction of stomach adenocarcinoma prognostic signature based on anoikis-related lncRNAs and clinical significance
This study was designed to identify prognostic risk factors in anoikis-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) for STAD. First, with STAD expression datasets and anoikis-related gene sets downloaded from public databases, anoikis-related prognostic lncRNA signatures (AC091057.1, ADAMTS9.AS1, AC090825.1, AC084880.3, EMX2OS, HHIP.AS1, AC016583.2, EDIL3.DT, DIRC1, LINC01614, and AC103702.2) were screened by Cox regression to establish a prognostic risk model. Kaplan-Meier and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the survival status of patients and verify predictive accuracy of the model. Besides, risk...
