Background & Objective: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as challenging molecules are more known than those in the last decade. These transcripts have been validated for carcinogenesis in many types of tissue. Functions of lncRNAs in cancer induction include cell cycle, epithelial to mesenchymal transition progression, apoptosis inhibition, cell migration, and invasion stimulation.

Background & Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC), like other cancers, needs faster and more accurate identifications. A well-timed prognosis of CRC could be an important turning point in the survival of patients. Supplementary signs, such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), could be helpful for this purpose.

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known as RNAs that do not encode proteins and that are more than 200 nucleotides in size. Previously, it has been found that LncRNAs play crucial roles in normal cellular processes, including proliferation and apoptosis. A growing body of evidence suggests that lncRNAs may also play regulatory roles in the initiation, progression and metastasis of various malignancies, including breast cancer.
