The evolution of long noncoding RNA acceptance in prostate cancer initiation, progression, and its clinical utility in disease management

In this study, we review current knowledge of the non-protein-coding genome in prostate cancer (PCa). We conclude that many of these regions are functional and a source of accurate biomarkers in PCa. With a strong research foundation, they hold promise as future therapeutic targets, yet clinical trials are necessary to determine their intrinsic value to PCa disease management.
