Advances of long non-coding RNA in thyroid tumor

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is non-protein coding transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides, which plays an important role in the development of the metabolic process. Thyroid cancer is the most common cancer of the endocrine system, and as reported, lncRNA is related to the occurrence and development of thyroid tumors. Therefore, this paper reports the latest domestic and foreign research progress about lncRNA in thyroid tumor, in order to provide new ideas for molecular diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer. Key words: lncRNA; Thyroid tumor
