Hu et al, reported the functional mechanisms, likely tumorigenesis-promoting mechanisms, and the potential clinical applications related to circASAP1 serves as a non-invasive prognostic predictor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastasis and prognosis.(1) While this manuscript will bring important roles and high potential clinical application value for patients with HCC, there remains substantial evidence to warrant concerns over the limited functions and mechanisms of circASAP1 as sponging of onco-microRNAs.
