Abstract
Opinion statement: The biological heterogeneity of colorectal cancer makes its molecular characteristics essential for therapeutic decision-making and prognostic evaluation. Recent advancements in consensus molecular subtyping, based on gene expression profiling, have provided deeper insights into the heterogeneity of CRC. CMS1, known as the immune subtype, is characterized by robust immune activity and microsatellite instability. CMS2, the canonical subtype, exhibits significant activation of the WNT and MYC signaling pathways. CMS3, the metabolic subtype, features unique metabolic dysregulations. CMS4, the mesenchymal subtype, is recognized for its stromal invasion and angiogenesis, which are associated with a poorer prognosis. This review delivers a thorough analysis of the biological and clinical responses of each CMS subtype in colorectal cancer, highlighting their therapeutic vulnerabilities. It integrates data and clinical trial results to suggest potential new therapies for each subtype. The goal is to improve therapeutic efficacy, minimize treatment disparities, and offer CRC patients more precise treatment options.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published treatment option advances in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to facilitate worldwide approaches to cancer treatment.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as endocrine tumors, lymphomas, neuro-oncology, and cancers of the breast, head and neck, lung, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary region. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known oncologists, and an international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
