Laryngeal cancer (LC) is one of the most common malignant tumors that occur in the head and neck. Emerging evidence shows that coding RNAs and non-coding RNAs play key roles in the formation and progression of LC. In this review, we focus on the regulation of lncRNAs in LC. LncRNAs appear to be involved in laryngeal cancer growth, invasion, and metastasis and in establishment of the laryngeal tumor microenvironment through various mechanisms. Furthermore, we also discuss the possibilities of establishing lncRNAs as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for laryngeal cancer. Taken together, we summarize the emerging roles of lncRNAs in laryngeal cancer development and their possible clinical significance.
