Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma Prognosis Can Be Effectively Predicted by LncRNA LIPH4: A Prospective Study.

Purpose: LIPH4 has been identified as an oncogenic lncRNA in different malignant diseases. This research aims to elucidate the link between the expression of LIPH4 and its prognostic application in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC).

Methods: To assess the expression of LIPH4, 142 TSCC and normal cases, respectively, which met the selection parameters, were used for qRT-PCR analysis.
