Non-small cell lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancer with a very high mortality rate. Trying to understand the mechanisms underlying the progression of this type of cancer, it is necessary to evaluate the changes occurring at molecular level in cancer cells. Besides the widely studied signaling pathways and genes which are dysregulated in NSCLC, there is a large group of non-coding RNAs involved in cancer pathogenesis. Those RNAs are tissue specific heterogeneous class of RNAs that play many functions in physiological condition in cells, nevertheless current data has shown that lncRNAs are also functional in different types of cancer. Moreover, it has been suggest that lncRNAs are involved in cancer progression by controlling key signaling pathways involved in diverse types of tumors. Notch signaling is one of those pathways, very often deregulated in NSCLC. Therefore in this review I summarized recent outcomes according the importance of lncRNAs in regulation of Notch pathway in the pathogenesis of NSCLC.
