Abstract Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the primary malignant tumor of the oral cavity, larynx, nasopharynx, esophagus and tongue. Although several novel therapeutic methods for HNSCC have been developed, the final therapeutic effect on the patient is still not satisfactory. Thus, it is imperative that scientists identify novel distinguishable markers with specific molecular characteristics that can be used in therapeutic and prognostic evaluation. Previous reports have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression in many cancers, including head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Translational studies of lncRNAs in HNSCC are urgently required before their application as a treatment can be realized. We aimed to address the most relevant findings on lncRNAs as biomarkers or treatment targets in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and to summarize their discovered pathways and mechanisms of action to reveal the possible future applications of these novel biomarkers in clinical translational research.
