Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: This retrospective study collected 290 breast cancer patients including 161 patients with hormone-positive. qPCR was performed to detect the expression of LINC00309. Kaplan-Meier and Cox risk proportion model were applied to disclose the function of LINC00309 for breast cancer prognosis. RESULTS: LINC00309 high expression was an independent predictor for worse disease-free survival (HR = 2.127; 95% CI 1.074-4.212; p = 0.030) and associated with a shorter disease-free survival (p = 0.027), especially in hormone-positive breast cancer patients (p = 0.001). Also LINC00309 high expression was associated with a shorter disease-free survival both in selective estrogen receptor modulator related hormone therapy (p = 0.025) and aromatase inhibitors related hormone therapy (p = 0.048). Moreover, LINC00309 was an independent predictor of worse disease-free survival in hormone-receptor positive breast cancer patients on univariate (HR = 4.505; 95% CI 1.722-11.785; p = 0.002) and multivariate (HR = 4.159; 95% CI 1.537-11.251; p = 0.005) analyses. CONCLUSION: In breast cancer, Linc00309 is significantly associated with poor prognosis and may represent a new marker of prognosis.
