Co-expression network analysis of the lncRNAs and mRNAs associated with cervical cancer progression

摘要

IntroductionCervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer and the third leading cause of cancer deaths in females in developing countries. Recent studies showed that long non-coding RNAs play a key role in human cancers. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of cervical cancer remained to be further explored.
