In a similar manner, a significantly higher expression of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) and urothelial carcinoma associated 1 (UCA1) was observed in advanced stages of MM, than in early stages, suggesting the potential role of MALAT1 and UCA1 in melanoma invasion and metastasis [83]. This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and melanoma.
