Many studies have shown that CENPH is closely associated with human cancers, including colorectal cancer (Wu et al., 2017), renal cell carcinoma (Wu et al., 2015), non-small cell lung cancer (Liao et al., 2009) as well as breast cancer (Walian, Hang & Mao, 2016). Here, CENPH is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
