Abstract: As a proto-oncogene, urothelial carcinoma antigen 1 (UCA1) is highly expressed in many human tumors such as bladder cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and brain glioma, which shows important application value in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of tumor. Studies show that UCA1 can promote tumor cell proliferation through multiple signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms, which may become a new potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of tumor.

Key words: RNA, Neoplasms, Urothelial carcinoma antigen 1
