We analyzed FOXC1 expression in NSCLC based on information in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database on UALCANC [35] and found elevated FOXC1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) compared to normal lung tissues (Fig. 1a). The gene discussed is FOXC1; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
