In human interaction, protein synthesis is the fundamental cell process and ribosomes are important effectors of this process. Ribosome biogenesis is a complex process for the production of functional ribosomes. In recent years, a series of studies have shown that ribosome biogenesis is closely related to cancer development. During tumor progression, the entire process of ribosome biogenesis and ribosome assembly is modified. That is, increased tumorigenicity is associated with profound quantitative and qualitative alterations in ribosome biogenesis and function. Current research has linked ribosome biogenesis to cancer in several ways.
