FOXD2-AS1 also exerts oncogenic actions on carcinogenesis including progression of bladder cancer (Su et al., 2018), glioma (Ni et al., 2019), cutaneous melanoma (Ren et al., 2019), colorectal cancer (Zhu et al., 2018), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (Bao et al., 2018), and non–small cell lung cancer (Rong et al., 2017). This evidence concerns the gene FOXD2 and central nervous system cancer.
