Abstract


Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the main most common type of lung cancer, accounting for about 80% of all cases. The five-year survival rate of patients with NSCLC is usually less than 20%. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a type of small non-coding RNA, are closely related to the development and occurrence of tumors, including NSCLC. Here, we reviewed the miRNAs related to the occurrence, diagnosis and prognosis of NSCLC.

Keywords: miRNA; non-small cell lung cancer; occurrence; diagnosis; prognosis
