IGF2BP1 was found to be commonly and significantly upregulated in almost all tumor cell lines and tumor tissues with a range from 17 to 72.4% of incidence (Table 1) and act as an essential oncogene that promotes the stability, localization, and translation of cancer-related mRNA targets by the regulation of some lncRNAs and miRNAs (Table 2). This evidence concerns the gene IGF2BP1 and cancer.
