TM7SF2 as a Potential Biomarker in Colorectal Cancer: Implications for Metastasis.

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a commonly fatal cancer and ranks as the fourth most prevalent in men and third in women worldwide. While early-stage survival rates are high, they significantly decrease with recurrence and metastasis. Thus, the early detection and treatment of metastasis-related factors can significantly improve survival rates. In this study, the transmembrane 7 superfamily member 2 (TM7SF2) gene was validated as a biomarker for predicting metastasis in CRC. Immunohistochemical staining was performed on 236 CRC tissues, and the clinicopathological factors of patients with CRC were analyzed. This evaluation revealed that TM7SF2 expression is associated with the clinical stage. Kaplan-Meier analysis confirmed the relationship between the survival rate of CRC patients and TM7SF2 e
