Fig. 2

a Diagram showing circulating lncRNAs reported in the literature regrouped by cancer type. Some lncRNAs (in black letters) are cancer-specific. Other circulating lncRNAs (in white letters) such as MALAT1, SPRY4-IT1, PVT1, UCA1 and LINC00152 reflect tumorigenesis in multiple organs. b Simplified cartoon representing the specificity of certain circulating lncRNAs towards cancers of organs located in designated anatomic segments of the human body. c Gene tissue expression of some of the most widely reported circulating lncRNAs with high multicancer diagnosis potential (GTEx, obtained from UCSC genome browser188197, https://genome.ucsc.edu/).
