Abstract
The aim of this study was to review research on the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in ovarian cancer. This article analyses studies on the effect of increased lncRNA expression on the size of ovarian cancer and the incidence of metastasis. The review covers a period from October 15, 2018 to August 22, 2020, and comprises 23 studies in which a total of 1,580 women with ovarian cancer participated, and an undetermined number of control groups where healthy tissue samples were collected. A review of the studies indicates that increased lncRNA expression is associated with elevated ovarian cancer size and metastatic risk. The most studied lncRNA include HOTAIR, CCAT2, GAS5, MALAT-1, UCA1. Studies assessing the expression levels of HOTAIR lncRNA and CCAT2 in normal and cancer tissue showed varying levels of expression in studies of different authors, which indicates that the expression of the same lncRNA may vary individually or is a result of study errors.
