  ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is a leader of the degree of more than 200 nucleotides, almost do not have the function of protein coding endogenous RNA molecules. Recent studies show that, lncRNA is not encoded protein, but it has a wide range of biological functions, and lncRNA in human diseases, especially in oncology, more and more attention has been paid to its role. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common malignant tumor of the head and neck in South China, which poses a serious threat to people’s health and life. Studies found that lncRNA is widely involved in the invasion, metastasis and prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). In this article, we will review the research progress of lncRNA in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
