Abstract
Copper is an important trace element for maintaining key biological functions such as cellular respiration, nerve conduction, and antioxidant defense. Maintaining copper homeostasis is critical for human health, and its imbalance has been linked to various diseases, especially cancer. Cuproptosis, a novel mechanism of copper-induced cell death, provides new therapeutic opportunities for metal ion regulation to interact with cell fate. This review provides insights into the complex mechanisms of copper metabolism, the molecular basis of cuproptosis, and its association with cancer development. We assess the role of cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) associated with tumorigenesis, their importance as prognostic indicators and therapeutic targets, and the impact of copper homeostasis on the tumor microenvironment (TME) and immune response. Ultimately, this review highlights the complex interplay between copper, cuproptosis, and cancer immunotherapy.

期刊介绍：
Biomarker Research, an open-access, peer-reviewed journal, covers all aspects of biomarker investigation. It seeks to publish original discoveries, novel concepts, commentaries, and reviews across various biomedical disciplines. The field of biomarker research has progressed significantly with the rise of personalized medicine and individual health. Biomarkers play a crucial role in drug discovery and development, as well as in disease diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention, particularly in the genome era.
