Many studies have shown that several miRNAs, such as miR‐200, miR‐92c and miR‐18a, play important roles in the tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, and lymphangiogenesis of NSCLC by targeting several angiogenic factors, including VEGF and LATS2 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
