Specific chimeric RNAs and their products are consistently regarded as ideal tumor diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. Chimeric RNAs can mediate tumor cell plasticity, neuroendocrine processes, polarization of tumor-associated macrophages, and resistance to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. However, the discovery of chimeric RNAs in prostate cancer is still in its early stages.

Under external stress, RIPK1 determines whether a cell undergoes RIPK-dependent apoptosis (RDA) or survives by activating NF-κB signaling. However, the role and mechanisms of RIPK1 on sunitinib sensitivity in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain elusive.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a class of noncoding RNAs, have emerged as important regulators in cancer metastasis.
