Sumario:RNA therapeutics represent a promising class of drugs and some of the successful therapeutics have been recently transformed into clinics for several disorders. A growing body of evidence has underlined the involvement of aberrant expression of cancer-associate genes or RNA splicing in the pathogenesis of a variety of cancers. In addition, there have been >200 clinical trials of oligonucleotide therapeutics targeting a variety of molecules in cancers. Although there are no approved RNA therapeutics against cancers so far, some promising outcomes have been obtained in phase 1/2 clinical trials. We will review the recent advances in the study of cancer pathogenesis associated with RNA therapeutics and the development of RNA therapeutics for cancers.
