title: [Progress in studies on the relationship between  Dicer and ovarian tumor].
abstract: MiRNAs are short, noncoding RNAs that modulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level and induce the degradation of the mRNA transcript or the inhibition of protein translation. Dicer is an endoribonuclease in the RNase III family that is essential for the production of miRNAs. The abnormal expression of Dicer is frequently found in the occurrence and development process of many kinds of tumors, which is closely related to the treatment and prognosis of tumor.
