High expression of long non-coding RNA ATB indicates a poor prognosis and regulates cell proliferation and metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer.

Background and aim Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to act as a critical regulator in the processes of tumor biology. In this study, whether lncRNA-ATB is a potential indicator for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was investigated and its biological function in NSCLC was also determined.
