Abstract
Long non-coding RNA [LncRNA] dysregulation has been seen in many human cancers,
including several kinds of leukemia, which is still a fatal disease with a poor prognosis. LncRNAs
have been demonstrated to function as tumor suppressors or oncogenes in leukemia. This study
covers current research findings on the role of lncRNAs in the prognosis and diagnosis of leukemia.
Based on recent results, several lncRNAs are emerging as biomarkers for the prognosis, diagnosis,
and even treatment outcome prediction of leukemia and have been shown to play critical
roles in controlling leukemia cell activities, such as proliferation, cell death, metastasis, and drug
resistance. As a result, lncRNA profiles may have superior predictive and diagnostic potential in
leukemia. Accordingly, this review concentrates on the significance of lncRNAs in leukemia progression
based on their chromosomal position.
