Research progresses of long non-coding RNAs in human head neck tumor / 实用肿瘤学杂志

Long noncoding RNAs( lncRNAs) are transcribed RNA molecules more than 200 nt in length, without protein coding capacity.In recent years,emerging evidence has shown that lncRNAs act as key regulators of multiple cancers.LncRNA is possible to be a new focus for cancer treatment.Until now,only a few papers about lncRNA had been reported in head neck tumor.In this review,we report the development of lncRNA in head neck tumorbased on the latest studies.
