Characterizing the Copy Number Variation of Non-Coding RNAs Reveals Potential Therapeutic Targets and Prognostic Markers of LUSC

Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) has a poor clinical prognosis and a lack of available targeted therapies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify novel prognostic markers and therapeutic targets to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of LUSC. With the development of high-throughput sequ...
