LINC00365 promotes miR-221-5p to inhibit pyroptosis via Dicer in colorectal cancer.

Pyroptosis, a newly discovered form of programmed cell death, is involved in the occurrence, development and drug resistance of a variety of tumors and has attracted increasing attention in recent years. LINC00365 is a novel lncRNA that has rarely been reported before. We previously reported that LINC00365 expression in colorectal cancer is closely associated with poor patient outcomes.

Current status and prospect of immunotherapy for colorectal cancer.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer is the most common gastrointestinal tumor in China. While significant progress has been achieved in traditional chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy, the prognosis of advanced colorectal cancer is poor, and the five-year survival rate is unsatisfactory. There is an urgent need to explore new treatment modalities.
