As suggested by numerous studies over the past decades, lncRNAs are catching more and more attentions of researchers for their rising roles in cancer progression.13, 14, 15 A number of lncRNAs have been revealed as promising biological markers in NSCLC, such as lncRNA PVT1 and SNHG1.16, 17 Our study first discovered lncRNA LIMD1‐AS1 in cancer progression. This evidence concerns the gene SNHG1 and cancer.
