lncRNA BANCR suppresses cell viability and invasion and promotes apoptosis in non-small-cell lung cancer cells in vitro and in vivo

Background: As a leading cause of deaths worldwide, lung cancer is a collection of diseases with diverse etiologies which includes non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Increasing evidence reported that aberrant expression of BRAF activated non-coding RNA (BANCR) was involved in the tumorigenesis and progression of various malignancies
