Research progress on vasculogenic mimicry in colorectal cancer: mechanisms and therapeutic

Puntos clave

• Vasculogenic mimicry enhances tumor progression in colorectal cancer, complicating treatment strategies.
• Key evidence shows that vasculogenic mimicry is linked to poor patient outcomes in colorectal cancer.
• Assessment of therapeutic interventions suggests flexibility for targeting both angiogenesis and mimicry pathways.
• These findings highlight the need for new therapeutic strategies in colorectal cancer, as vasculogenic mimicry may impact treatment efficacy.
