Centromere protein U expression promotes non-small-cell lung cancer cell proliferation through FOXM1 and predicts poor survival

Purpose Centromere protein U (CENPU) abnormally exhibits high expression in various types of human tumor tissues and participates in tumor progression; however, its expression pattern and biological function in lung cancer have not yet been elucidated. In the present study, we explored the clinical significance and biological function of CENPU in lung cancer.
