Recently, a novel lncRNA, ARAP1 antisense RNA 1 (ARAP1‐AS1), was reported as an important regulator in the development and progression of bladder cancer and colorectal cancer.10, 11 In this study, through analyzing The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we found that ARAP1‐AS1 was remarkably upregulated in CC as compared with normal tissues. The gene discussed is ARAP1; the disease is urinary bladder cancer.
