Noncoding RNAs Interplay in Ovarian Cancer Therapy and Drug Resistance.

Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are several types of RNA that do not encode proteins, but are essential for cell regulation. Ovarian cancer (OC) is a type of gynecological cancer with a high mortality rate and a 5-year prognosis. OC is becoming more common with each passing year, and the symptoms of early-stage OC are sometimes undetectable. Meanwhile, early-stage OC has no symptoms and is difficult to diagnose. Because ncRNA has been shown to affect the development of OC and is widely distributed, it could be employed as a new biomarker for early OC. Furthermore, ncRNA has the potential to promote or inhibit drug resistance in OC, potentially giving a solution to multiple drug resistance. Various prior studies have found that different ncRNAs perform differently in OC. This article examines how mainstream ncRNAs have been expressed in OC in recent years, as well as their function in tumor growth.
