Li et al. reported that lncRNA UPLA1 was overexpressed in NSCLC tissues and correlated with tumor size and lymph node metastasis, and lncRNA UPLA1 had an ROC curve of 0.756 for discriminating NSCLC from normal controls, with a sensitivity and specificity of 76.2% and 72.1%, respectively (Han et al., 2020). The gene discussed is GJD3-AS1; the disease is metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
