Overview

Narrative review evaluates molecular, microbial, and liquid biopsy biomarkers in colorectal cancer, highlighting strategies to optimize personalized prognosis and targeted therapy.

Key Points

  • To critically evaluate established and emerging molecular biomarkers in colorectal cancer, examining their mechanistic roles and translational potential in precision oncology.
  • Conducted a comprehensive narrative literature review of oncogenic pathways, regulatory microRNAs, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and liquid biopsy modalities.
  • Key genetic alterations—including APC-driven Wnt/β-catenin dysregulation, TP53 inactivation, KRAS and BRAF mutations, PI3K/AKT alterations, and microsatellite instability—drive tumor progression and dictate therapy resistance.
  • Regulatory microRNAs and gut microbiome imbalances significantly influence cancer progression and immune evasion.
  • Liquid biopsy platforms, primarily circulating tumor cells and cell-free DNA, provide minimally invasive tools for real-time monitoring of disease dynamics.
