LOXL1 and cancer: In the article, we review the function and mechanism of LOXL1-AS1 in a variety of malignant tumors (Table 1) and emphasize its potential clinical value (Table 2). Our research shows that LOXL1-AS1 may be a potential cancer biomarker or therapeutic target, which provides guidance and reference for follow-up researchers to further clarify its role in cancer regulation and develop related clinical targeted drugs.
