Forkhead box protein M1 (FOXM1) is overexpressed in NSCLC and SCLC, is related to the regulation tumorigenesis, cell cycle progression,cancer therapy resistance, and metastasis, as it can translocate to the nucleus and bind to the regulatory regions of several target genes crucial for the survival of cancer cells (Zhang et al., 2015; Liang et al., 2021). This evidence concerns the gene FOXM1 and small cell lung carcinoma.
