LncRNA-based clustering and clinical parameters. a Kaplan-Meier plot of TCGA HNSCC patients stratified by lncRNA clusters using overall survival as endpoint. p val was calculated with the log-rank test. n: number of patients with available follow-up information. b Significant associations between lncRNA clusters and various clinical parameters, including tobacco, histologic grade, and sub-anatomical location. Odds ratios and significance values were calculated using Fisher’s exact test. c Box plots of patient age for significant differences between c1 or c2 patients. p values were calculated using T test
