Increased gene expression of HOXB7, KIF2C, NEK2, FOXM1 and IGF2BP3 has also been reported for several other types of cancer [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], suggesting that these genes may be associated with tumor growth in general. This evidence concerns the gene HOXB7 and cancer.
