| Summary: | Radiotherapy is an important tool in the treatment of malignant tumors, and exploring how to make radiotherapy more effective is a new way to break through the current bottleneck in the development of radiation oncology. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a special class of endogenous non-coding RNAs. Numerous studies have shown that circRNAs have shown great potential in regulating the biological functions of tumors, including proliferation, migration, invasion, and treatment resistance, and that differences in their expression levels are closely related to the clinical prognosis of tumor patients. This review systematically compares the mechanisms of circRNAs in the process of tumor development and radiosensitivity and provides insight into the clinical translation of circRNAs in radiotherapy. |
