Core Tip

Core Tip: Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence has shown a sustained annual increase with a notable trend toward younger-onset cases, significantly affecting public health. In this retrospective cohort study, we systematically conducted clinical data of 53 CRC patients, performing quantitative comparison of microRNA 195 (miR195), lactate dehydrogenase-5 (LDH-5), and phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) expression profiles between tumor tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues, as well as their correlation with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis. Our findings revealed that reduced miR195 and PTEN expression, coupled high LDH-5 expression exhibited strong mechanistic associations with CRC pathogenesis and disease progression, suggesting that molecular alterations as potential utility as a novel diagnostic indicators for precision oncology applications.
