Hematological malignancies are typically treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy as the first-line conventional therapies. However, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a rapidly expanding field of study in cancer biology that influences the growth, differentiation, and proliferation of tumors by targeting immunological checkpoints. This study reviews the results of studies (from 2012 to 2024) that consider the immune checkpoints and ncRNAs in relation to hematological malignancies receiving immunotherapy. This article provides a summary of the latest advancements in immunotherapy for treating hematological malignancies, focusing on the role of immune checkpoints and ncRNAs in the immune response and their capacity for innovative strategies. The paper also discusses the function of immune checkpoints in maintaining immune homeostasis and how their dysregulation can contribute to developing leukemia and lymphoma. Finally, this research concludes with a discussion on the obstacles and future directions in this rapidly evolving field, emphasizing the need for continued research to fully harness the capacity of immune checkpoints and ncRNAs in immunotherapy for hematological malignancies.
