Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cancer is a disease that involves abnormal cell growth and can invade or metastasize to other tissues. It is known that several factors are related to its initiation, proliferation, and invasiveness. Recently, it has been reported that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can participate in specific functional pathways and further regulate the biological function of cancer cells. Studies on lncRNAs are therefore helpful for uncovering the underlying mechanisms of cancer biological processes.
