Among the types of cancers reported to have high NAMPT expression are colorectal cancer (CRC), breast cancer, osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, esophagogastric junction adenocarcinomas, thyroid cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, ovarian cancer, and some renal cancer, and in many of these, higher expression correlated with worse outcomes (14–30). The gene discussed is NAMPT; the disease is cancer.
