摘要
Colorectal cancer(CRC)is the second deadliest cancer and the third-most common malignancy in the world.Surgery,chemotherapy,and targeted therapy have been widely used to treat CRC,but some patients still develop resistance to these treatments.Ferroptosis is a novel non-apoptotic form of cell death.It is an iron-dependent non-apoptotic cell death characterized by the accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species and has been suggested to play a role in reversing resistance to anticancer drugs.This review summarizes recent advances in the prognostic role of ferroptosis in CRC and the mechanism of action in CRC.
