microRNA (miRNA) is an important molecular component for cells under normal and pathological status, and plays an important role in oncobiology, including the improvement of tumor growth, invasion, angiogenesis and immunoescape by inhibiting the expression of gene miRNAs. Translational medicine can accelerate the industrialization process of transforming scientific research into engineering application, and its application in medicine may lead to the fast shortening of distance between basic research and clinical practice. According to the study of miRNAs in translational medicine, it is discovered that the pathological subtypes of relative diseases can be identiifed and patients’ survival time and prognosis can be predicted through the expression proifles of miRNAs in tumors. The invasive examinations can be reduced to realize the diagnosis of tumors by detecting tumor-associated miRNA biomarkers, and miRNAs can be used for clinical treatment of tumors. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common tumor in urinary system, and application of some specific miRNAs as a biomarker for the complementary diagnosis and treatment as well as evaluation of prognosis has become a hot topic in modern medicine. This study mainly analyzed and summarized the latest development in miRNAs and tumor studies, hoping to provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and prognosis of renal cancer.
