Core Tip

Core Tip: Long non-coding ribonucleic acids (lncRNAs) are key factors in the development of many malignant tumors and are involved in the prognosis of some patients. The expression of autophagy-associated lncRNAs was associated with survival in melanoma patients. We obtained 15 autophagy-related lncRNAs and established a melanoma prognosis model, which can predict the prognosis of melanoma patients and is more accurate than TNM stage, age, gender, and other clinical indicators, and may provide autophagy-related clinical targets for the treatment of melanoma.
