Clinical value of circular RNAs and autophagy-related miRNAs in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer

CONCLUSIONScircRNAs act as the miRNA sponges and there is an association between miRNAs and autophagy, which provides a new concept to broaden the knowledge about the mechanisms underlying the development, progression and metastasis of pancreatic cancer. Additionally, clinical value of circRNAs and autophagy-related miRNAs in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer would be further verified with in-depth researches.
