A Potential Immune-Related Long Non-coding RNA Prognostic Signature for Ovarian Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer (OC), the most lethal gynecologic malignancy, ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women, largely because of late diagnosis. Recent studies suggest that the expression levels of immune-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in the prognosis of OC; however, the potential of immune-related lncRNAs as prognostic factors in OC remains unexplored. In this study, we aimed to identify a potential immune-related lncRNA prognostic signature for OC patients. We used RNA sequencing and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify immune-related lncRNAs that could serve as useful biomarkers for OC diagnosis and prognosis. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify the immune-related lncRNAs with progno
