The evolution of long noncoding RNA acceptance in prostate cancer initiation and progression, and its clinical utility in disease management (European Urology)
It is increasingly evident that non-protein-coding regions of the genome can give rise to transcripts that form functional layers of the cancer genome. One of most abundant classes in these regions is long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). They have gained increasing attention in prostate cancer (PCa) and paved the way for a greater understanding of these cryptic regulators in cancer.
