Core Tip

Core tip: The noncoding genome exhibits an extensive landscape of cancer hallmarks. With the emergence of the promising effects of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer, advancements in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of lncRNAs reveal a new era of therapeutic methods against gastric cancer and biomarkers. Although significant data imply the great translational application potential of lncRNAs in gastric cancer, these approaches still require further validation and a large cohort of patients to assess the long-term clinical outcomes.
