Deciphering miR-520c-3p as a probable target for immunometabolism in non-small cell lung cancer using systems biology approach.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is considered to have more than 80% of all lung cancer cases, making it the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. MicroRNA (miRNA) deregulation has been seen often in NSCLC and has been linked to the disease's genesis, progression, and metastasis via affecting their target genes.

Materials And Methods: Our study focused on the functionality of down-regulated miRNAs in NSCLC.
