Preface
MicroRNAs(miRNAs)havearevolutionaryimpactoncancerresearchoverrecent
years. These small non-coding RNAs emerge as important players in tumorigene-
sis, leading to a paradigm shift in oncology. The rapid discovery of many miRNA
targetsandtheirassociatedpathwayshascontributedtothedevelopmentofmiRNA-
basedtherapeuticsforcancer.TheseexcitingfindingsrevealthepotentialofmiRNA
studiestranslatingfrombenchtobedsideapplications.Thoroughunderstandingof
miRNAs in cancer translational research is apparently a prerequisite for all pro-
fessionals involved and interested in this area. MiRNA is a cutting-edge topic in
the scientific and medical fields, the identification of cancer-related miRNAs and
their state-of-the-art treatment approaches proceed at a fast pace. These stimulat-
ingadvancesdrovemetocompilethisuniquebookentitledMicroRNAsinCancer
