8‑Gingerol regulates colorectal cancer cell proliferation and migration through the EGFR/STAT/ERK pathway.

8‑Gingerol, which is extracted from ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), has been shown to possess antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory properties. However, the antitumor effect of 8‑gingerol has not been fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the therapeutic potential of 8‑gingerol against colorectal cancer (CRC).
