Core Tip	Emerging evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may play important regulatory roles in the pathogenesis and progression of human cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, elucidating the functional roles of lncRNAs in tumors can contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of HCC and may help in developing novel therapeutic targets. In this review, we summarize the recent progress regarding the functional roles of lncRNAs in HCC and explore their clinical implications as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers and molecular therapeutic targets for HCC.
