Abstract: Growth arrest special 5 (GAS5) is a common long noncoding RNA (lncRNA). Recent studies find that lncRNA GAS5 is downregulated in various tumors, such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancers and urologic cancers. GAS5 is closely related to the development, metastasis and prognosis of cancers, which becomes a new hotspot in cancer research.

Key words: Neoplasms, Growth arrest special 5
