NEAT1 and cancer: LncRNAs are regulators involve in multiple biological processes6, 8 including microRNA sponging,9 translational10 and transcriptional regulation11 and protein‐protein interactions.12 Moreover, many lncRNAs have shown good prognostic values in several forms of cancer.6, 13 Latest evidence on tumorigenesis has revealed that lncRNAs play a vital role in the tumorigenesis of many forms of cancers,6, 13 and several oncogenic lncRNAs, such as NEAT1,7, 14 MALAT115, 16 and PVT1,17 are well established.
