CircRNAs in gastric cancer: current research and potential clinical implications

Gastric cancer (GC) has a dismal prognosis and is also one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies worldwide. circRNAs are covalently closed circular RNA molecules without 5′-cap and a 3′-tail, currently listed among the broad noncoding RNA family. circRNAs participate in a variety of pathophysiological processes relevant to human diseases, especially malignancies, including GC. Compelling evidence has shown that circRNAs can function by...
