It examines snoRNA biogenesis, classical functions (rRNA modification), and non-canonical oncogenic mechanisms, including microRNA sponging, sdRNA production, and protein interactions (EZH2, DNMT3A, hnRNPK). The factors involved in the deregulation of snoRNA/SNHG expression during tumour transformation are described, such as amplifications, epigenetic changes, and transcriptional control (c-Myc, p53). Studies have shown that in BC, the majority of snoRNAs/SNHGs (SNHG1, SNHG3, SNHG6, SNHG13, SCARNA12) act as oncogenes, activating the PI3K/AKT, Wnt/β-catenin, NF-κB, and c-Myc pathways, thereby enhancing proliferation, EMT, invasion, and metastasis. Suppressor molecules (SNHG2/GAS5) are also discussed. The clinical potential of snoRNAs as prognostic signatures (SNORS), diagnostic biomarkers (SNHG1 in urine), and therapeutic targets (e.g., SNHG3) is analyzed. Thus, snoRNAs and SNHGs represent a promising class of molecules for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for BC, although further investigation in prospective studies is required. https://repo.bashgmu.ru/publication/6189 https://repo.bashgmu.ru/files/6389
