Core Tip
Core tip: The deregulation mechanisms of pancreatic cancer remain inscrutable. ncRNAs have recently been found to provide new opportunities for identifying both functional drivers and specific biomarkers of pancreatic cancer. Here, we review the expression profile of ncRNAs in human pancreatic cancer, with the aim of analyzing the feasibility of clinical application of ncRNA in pancreatic cancer’s diagnosis and treatment.
