Recent studies have also reported that lncRNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) could promote epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis in many cancers, including renal cell carcinoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, and endometrioid endometrial carcinoma [14–16]. This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.
