Long noncoding RNA MYOSLID promotes invasion and metastasis by modulating the partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition program in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Table 1 Relationship between MYOSLID expression and clinicopathological Characteristics of HNSCC patients based on TCGA (n = 499)

Note: HNSCC patients were divided into MYOSLID low and MYOSLID high group according to the cut off value (median = 219.8)
^*p < 0.05 was considered statistic significant. Differences among variables were evaluated by χ2 or Fisher’s exact χ2 -test
