Abstract

Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. Despite some successes, conventional cancer treatments are insufficient to address the growing problem of drug resistance in tumors and to achieve efficient treatment outcomes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore new therapeutic options. Ferroptosis, a type of iron- and reactive oxygen species-dependent regulated cell death, has been closely associated with cancer development and progression. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a class of RNAs that do not code for proteins, and studies have demonstrated their involvement in the regulation of ferroptosis in cancer. This review aims to explore the molecular regulatory mechanisms of ncRNAs involved in ferroptosis in cancer and to emphasize the feasibility of ferroptosis and ncRNAs as novel therapeutic strategies for cancer. We conducted a systematic and extensive literature review using PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and various other sources to identify relevant studies on ferroptosis, ncRNAs, and cancer. A deeper understanding of ferroptosis and ncRNAs could facilitate the development of new cancer treatment strategies.
