Exploring the role of Fusobacterium nucleatum in colorectal cancer: implications for tumor proliferation and chemoresistance

Abstract excerpt

Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) has been extensively studied for its connection to colorectal cancer (CRC) and its potential role in chemotherapy resistance. Studies indicate that Fn is commonly found in CRC tissues and is associated with unfavorable prognosis and treatment failure. It has been shown that Fn promotes chemoresistance by affecting autophagy, a cellular process that helps cells survive under stressful...
