Molecular characterization of papillary thyroid carcinoma: a potential three-lncRNA prognostic signature

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the most frequent type of malignant thyroid tumor, lacks novel and reliable biomarkers of patients' prognosis. In the current study, we mined The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to develop lncRNA signature of PTC.The intersection of PTC lncRNAs was obtained from the TCGA database using integrative computational method. By the univariate and multivariate Cox analysis, key lncRNAs were identified to construct the...
