Understanding microRNA-Mediated Chemoresistance in Colorectal Cancer Treatment. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Although biomarker-driven therapies have improved treatment, responses to standard chemotherapeutics, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin, and irinotecan, vary considerably. Despite these promising findings, the clinical translation of miRNA-based biomarkers faces challenges, including methodological inconsistencies and the dynamic nature of miRNA expression, influenced by the tumor microenvironment. This review highlights the critical role of miRNAs in elucidating chemoresistance mechanisms and their promise as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in CRC, paving the way for a new era of precision oncology.
