Abstract

Contemporary developments in molecular biology have been combined with discoveries on the analysis of the role of all non‑coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in human diseases, particularly in cancer, by examining their roles in cells. Currently, included among these common types of cancer, are all the lymphomas and lymphoid malignancies, which represent a diverse group of neoplasms and malignant disorders. Initial data suggest that non‑coding RNAs, particularly long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), play key roles in oncogenesis and that lncRNA‑mediated biology is an important key pathway to cancer progression. Other non‑coding RNAs, termed microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs), are very promising cancer molecular biomarkers. They can be detected in tissues, cell lines, biopsy material and all biological fluids, such as blood. With the number of well‑characterized cancer‑related lncRNAs and miRNAs increasing, the study of the roles of non‑coding RNAs in cancer is bringing forth new hypotheses of the biology of cancerous cells. For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the present review provides an up‑to‑date summary of the recent literature referring to all diagnosed ncRNAs that mediate the pathogenesis of all types of lymphomas and lymphoid malignancies.
