Abstract Background: LINC00634 is highly expressed in esophageal cancer, and its depletion can suppress the viability and induce the apoptosis of esophageal cancer cells. However, there is a lack of studies that examine the relationship between LINC00634 expression and the clinicopathological features, survival outcomes, prognostic factors and tumor immune cell infiltration of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) patients.Objective: We aim at investigating the role of LINC00634 in colorectal carcinoma.Methods: We obtained data from the TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) public database, GTEx (Genotype-Tissue Expression) database and clinical samples. Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Kruskal-Wallis test and logistic regression analysis were employed to assess the relationship between LINC00634 expression and the clinicopathological characteristics of CRC patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate the ability of LINC00634 for distinguishing between CRC patients and normal subjects based on the area under the curve (AUC) score. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between prognostic factors and survival outcomes. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analysis were employed to determine the contribution of LINC00634 expression to the prognosis of colorectal carcinoma patients. Immune infiltration analysis and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were conducted to identify the significantly involved functions of LINC00634. Finally, a nomogram was constructed for internal verification based on the Cox regression data.Results: The expression of LINC00634 was upregulated in CRC patients, and markedly associated with N stage, residual tumor, pathological stage, and overall survival (OS) event. ROC curve showed that LINC00634 had strong diagnostic and prognostic abilities (AUC=0.74). The high expression of LINC00634 could predict poor disease specific survival (DSS; P=0.008) and poor overroll survival (OS;P<0.01). The expression of LINC00634 was independently associated with OS in CRC patients (P=0.019). GSEA and immune infiltration analysis demonstrated that LINC00634 expression was involved in gene transcription, epigenetic regulation and the functions of certain types of immune infiltrating cells. The c-index of the nomogram was 0.772 (95%CI: 0.744-0.799).Conclusions: Our study reveals that LINC00634 can serve as a potential prognostic biomarker for CRC patients.

CEA determination has attained an important role in the clinical management of patients with tumors of the colorectal tract. In this paper the experience of the Istituto Tumori of Milan is reviewed and the results are discussed. Three hundred and thirty-six patients were followed after curative resection of colorectal carcinoma. The follow-up period was 15 years, from January 1975 to December 1990 (global follow-up 1358 years). In the course of follow-up 136 patients developed recurrent disease. The number of CEA determinations for each patient ranged from 1 to 37 (mean 8, total 3330). CEA levels of presurgical patients were related to the clinical stage. Among patients who developed recurrences 61% showed an increase in CEA serum levels. In 200 patients with a negative follow-up we observed only 15 cases of false-positive results.
