The results of analysis showed that BCAR4 expression in human cancer was significantly associated with poor overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.98, confidence interval [CI]: [1.71-2.29]), p < 0.00001, and high BCAR4 expression was associated with clinical stage (OR and its 95% CI was 3.30 [1.99-5.46], p < 0.00001), distant metastasis (OR = 3.83, 95% CI: 2.15-6.82, p < 0.00001), and lymph node metastasis (OR and its 95% CI was 2.91 [1.62-5.25], p = 0.0004) in patients with cancer.
Overexpression of lncRNA BCAR4 was related to lymph node metastasis (OR 3.68, 95% CI: 2.25-6.00; P < .001), high tumor stage (OR 3.19, 95% CI: 1.98-5.13; P < .001), and distant metastasis (OR 3.83, 95% CI: 2.15-6.82; P < .001), but not to tumor size.
In addition, the BCAR4 expression was associated with the lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and clinical stage, but not with the age, sex, tumor size, histological grade, and histological type.
