Long non-coded RNA, cancer, immune cells, tumor micro-environment, immuno-oncology, immune escape, cancer-immune cycle, lncRNA signature
Abstract: Developing data from current research reveals fresh insights into the roles played by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in immuno-oncology. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) not only influence the aggressiveness of cancer cells but also play a crucial role in controlling different immune cells and stromal cells, which in turn changes the tumor micro-environment and impacts anti-tumor immunity. The significance of predictive indicators derived from long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is underscored by …
