Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of death worldwide. It includes different subtypes that differ in their clinical and prognostic features. In the past decade, addition to conventional adenoma-carcinoma model, an alternative multistep mechanism carcinogenesis, namely "serrated pathway", has been described. Approximately, 15 30% all CRCs arise from neoplastic serrated polyps, heterogeneous group lesions are histologically classified into three morphologic categories: hyperplastic sessile adenomas/polyps, traditional adenomas/polyps. Serrated polyps characterized by genetic (BRAF or KRAS mutations) epigenetic (CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP)) alterations cooperate initiate drive malignant transformation normal colon mucosa then CRC. The high heterogeneity renders diagnostic pathological interpretation difficult. Hence, novel biomarkers required for better classification management CRCs. To date, several molecular have associated with polyp-CRC sequence. addition, gut microbiota emerging as contributor to/modulator pathway. This review summarizes state art genetic, signatures CRCs, together implications.

Although multidisciplinary treatment is widely applied in colorectal cancer (CRC), the prognosis of patients with advanced CRC remains poor. Immunotherapy blocking programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) a promising approach. Binding transmembrane protein PD-L1 expressed by tumor cells or microenvironment to its receptor (PD-1) induces immunosuppressive signals and reduces proliferation T cells, which an important mechanism immune escape key issue immunotherapy. However, regulation expression poorly understood CRC. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) (FGFR) 2 causes tyrosine kinase domains initiate cascade intracellular binding FGFs dimerization (pairing receptors), involved tumorigenesis progression. In this study, we showed that FGFR2 were frequently overexpressed CRC, was significantly associated lymph node metastasis, clinical stage, poor survival. current positively correlated Tumor-derived-activated induced via JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway human (SW480 NCI-H716), apoptosis Jurkat cells. also promoted xenograft mouse model The results our study reveal novel thus providing theoretical basis for reversing tolerance overexpression
