ZFAS1 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: ZFAS1 is a newly identified lncRNA that is up‐regulated in several human cancers, such as gastric cancer,17 non‐small cell lung cancer 18 and hepatocellular carcinoma.19 Although the latest encouraging research has reported that up‐regulated ZFAS1 acts as a promoter for the occurrence of NPC through the activation of the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway, the role of ZFAS1 in NPC requires further investigation.20
