Long non-coding RNAs as prognostic biomarkers in papillary renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to identify long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-based prognostic biomarkers in papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC). lncRNA expression data and corresponding clinical data from patients with pRCC were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. R software and packages were used for data analysis. Univariate Cox regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression were performed to identify key lncRNAs, which were then used to construct a prognostic model using multivariate Cox regression analysis. Patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups, and Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curves and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted. The C-index was calculated to estimate the model's prognostic power. The
