and colorectal cancer: A paradoxical role revealed through metabolite profiling and prognostic modeling.

Background: Emerging evidence implicates () in human oncogenesis. Notably, studies have supported its involvement in regulating outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study investigated the paradoxical role of in CRC, aiming to determine whether it promotes or suppresses tumor development, with a focus on the mechanistic basis linked to its metabolic profile.
