Platinum-based compounds are commonly used as an initial treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the development of drug resistance in patients with CRC necessitates the administration of high drug concentrations during clinical treatment, thereby augmenting the toxicity of platinum-based compounds and increasing the mortality rate. STAG2 is a significantly associated drug-resistance gene in many cancers, but it has not been studied in colorectal cancer. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the role and drug sensitivity of the cisplatin-resistant gene STAG2.
