Abstract

Cancer is the most intractable human disease that is primarily caused by genetic alterations. Recently, the general application of microarrays and high‑throughput sequencing technology has revealed various important roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cancer. This review summarizes the function, mechanism, diagnostic and treatment potential of lncRNAs identified through genome‑wide analysis in cancer. Cell‑, tissue‑ and development stage‑specific expression patterns are major characteristics of cancer‑associated lncRNAs, and various genetic alterations are also implicated. Microarray and sequencing analyses serve important roles in mechanistic studies of either nuclear or cytoplasmic lncRNAs. Collectively, genome‑wide analysis is the inexorable trend of future studies or clinical applications of lncRNAs and offers a novel perspective regarding the prognosis and treatment of cancer.
