Article Synopsis
- Cancer causes over 10 million deaths annually, and issues like metastasis and drug resistance significantly lower survival rates, presenting challenges for effective treatment.
- Long non-coding RNAs, particularly linc-ROR, play a key role in cancer by interacting with micro RNAs and are increasingly recognized for their involvement in cancer development and progression.
- This review aims to provide updated insights into linc-ROR's role in cancer, emphasizing its potential to enhance diagnostic tools and targeted therapies in precision oncology.
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) originates in the squamous cell lining the mucosal surfaces of the head and neck region, including the oral cavity, nasopharynx, tonsils, oropharynx, larynx, and hypopharynx. The heterogeneity, anatomical, and functional characteristics of the patient make the HNSCC a complex and difficult-to-treat disease, leading to a poor survival rate and a decreased quality of life due to the loss of important physiologic functions and aggressive surgical injury. Alteration of driver-oncogenic and tumor-suppressing lncRNAs has recently been recently in HNSCC to obtain possible biomarkers for diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic approaches.
