Core Tip

Core Tip: To investigate the expression significance of the chromatin-remodeling protein MORC family CW-type zinc finger 4 as a biomarker in colorectal cancer patients, and to explore its relationship with pathological features and prognosis. The upregulation of MORC family CW-type zinc finger 4 expression in colorectal cancer patients is closely related to disease severity and prognosis, suggesting its potential as an evaluation biomarker, which warrants further investigation.
