Cervical cancer (CC) and ovarian cancer (OC) are among the most common gynecological cancers with significant mortality in women, and their incidence is increasing. In addition to the prominent role of the malignant aspect of these cancers in cancer-related women deaths, chemotherapy drug resistance is a major factor that contributes to their mortality and presents a clinical obstacle. Although the exact mechanisms behind the chemoresistance in these cancers has not been revealed, accumulating evidence points to the dysregulation of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), particularly long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), as key contributors. These ncRNAs perform the roles of regulators of signaling pathways linked to tumor formation and chemoresistance. Strong data from various recent studies have uncovered that the main mechanism of these ncRNAs in the induction of chemoresistance of CC and OC is done through a dysregulated miRNA sponge activity as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in the competing endogenous RNA networks (ceRNETs), where a miRNA regulating a messenger RNA (mRNA) is trapped, thereby removing its inhibitory effect on the desired mRNA. Understanding these mechanisms is essential to enhancing treatment outcomes and managing the problem of drug resistance. This review provides a comprehensive overview of lncRNA- and circRNA-mediated ceRNETs as the core process of chemoresistance against the commonly used chemotherapeutics, including cisplatin, paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, carboplatin, and docetaxel in CC and OC. Furthermore, we highlight the clinical potential of these ncRNAs serving as diagnostic indicators of chemotherapy responses and therapeutic targets.
