Background/Objectives: Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of gynecological cancer mortality worldwide, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to vague symptoms and the lack of effective early detection methods. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as key regulators in cancer biology, influencing cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, and chemoresistance. This review explores the multifaceted roles of lncRNAs in ovarian cancer pathogenesis and their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to analyze the structural and functional characteristics of lncRNAs and their contributions to ovarian cancer biology. This includes their regulatory mechanisms, interactions with signaling pathways, and implications for therapeutic resistance. Advanced bioinformatics and omics approaches were also evaluated for their potential in lncRNA research. Results: The review highlights the dual role of lncRNAs as oncogenes and tumor suppressors, modulating processes such as cell proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis. Specific lncRNAs, such as HOTAIR and GAS5, demonstrate significant potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Emerging technologies, such as single-cell sequencing, provide valuable insights into the tumor microenvironment and the heterogeneity of lncRNA expression. Conclusions: LncRNAs hold transformative potential in advancing ovarian cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Targeting lncRNAs or their associated pathways offers promising strategies to overcome therapy resistance and enhance personalized medicine. Continued research integrating omics and bioinformatics will be essential to unlock the full clinical potential of lncRNAs in ovarian cancer management.

Cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and effective strategies for cancer prevention are urgently needed to complement therapeutic advances. While dietary factors are known to influence cancer risk, the molecular mechanisms that mediate inter-individual responses to nutritional exposures remain poorly defined. Emerging evidence identifies long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as pivotal regulators of gene expression, chromatin organization, metabolic homeostasis, immune signaling, and cellular stress responses, the core processes that drive cancer initiation and progression and are highly sensitive to nutritional status. In parallel, advances in precision nutrition have highlighted how variability in genetics, metabolism, microbiome composition, and epigenetic landscapes shape dietary influences on cancer susceptibility. This review integrates these rapidly evolving fields by positioning lncRNAs as molecular conduits that translate dietary exposures into transcriptional and epigenetic programs governing cancer development, progression, and therapeutic vulnerability. We provide mechanistic evidence demonstrating how dietary bioactive compounds and micronutrients, including polyphenols [such as curcumin, resveratrol, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)], flavonoids, alkaloids such as berberine, omega-3 (ω-3) fatty acids, folate, vitamin D, probiotic metabolites (such as butyrate and propionate), and trace elements (such as selenium and zinc), modulate oncogenic and tumor-suppressive lncRNAs. These nutrient–lncRNA interactions influence cancer-relevant pathways controlling proliferation, epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic rewiring. We further discuss emerging lncRNA signatures that reflect nutritional and metabolic states, their potential utility as biomarkers for individualized dietary interventions, and their integration into liquid biopsy platforms. Leveraging multi-omics datasets and systems biology, we outline AI-driven frameworks to map nutrient–lncRNA regulatory networks and identify targetable nodes for cancer chemoprevention. Finally, we address translational challenges, including compound bioavailability, inter-individual variability, and limited clinical validation, and propose future directions for incorporating lncRNA profiling into precision nutrition-guided cancer prevention trials. Together, these insights position lncRNAs at the nexus of diet and cancer biology and establish a foundation for mechanistically informed precision nutrition strategies in cancer chemoprevention.
