Core Tip

Core tip: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has a high rate of mortality, and patients with this disease often miss the optimal treatment period due to the lack of clinical symptoms of early CRC, which affects their prognosis. At present, CRC is extremely difficult to prevent and treat. Therefore, this study investigated the changes in biological functions of CRC cells from the perspective of the CRC mechanism, with the goal of evaluating the effects of microRNA miR-19a-3p-mediated regulation of the Forkhead box F2-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway on the biological functions of CRC cells.
