Abstract

Lack of expression of the tumor suppressor CDX2 is associated with stage II/III colorectal cancer (CRC) poor outcomes. Its potential prognostic and predictive values in metastatic CRC (mCRC), and correlation with other potential biomarkers are of great interest. Overexpression of the PTGS2 gene encoding cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) has shown a significantly direct association with advanced CRC stages. Reduced CDX2 in CRC has been suggested to enhance NF-κB-mediated inflammatory response, upregulating COX2 expression.
