Abstract

Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is one of the most common types of gynecological cancer. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are associated with the carcinogenesis and progression of EC. In the following review, the emerging role of lncRNAs in EC initiation and progression is considered. The profile of lncRNAs is becoming higher as the contribution of lncRNAs to carcinogenesis through diverse mechanisms is being increasingly recognized, including in EC. A number of lncRNA‑profiling studies have identified aberrantly expressed lncRNAs in EC tissue, and the regulatory network associated with these lncRNAs may be critical in EC progression. Additionally, certain lncRNAs may have diagnostic and/or prognostic significance. The potential function of lncRNAs as prospective therapeutic and prognostic targets in EC will be evaluated.
