Abstract: The National Cancer Center published a comparative report on cancer data between China and the
United States in the Chinese Medical Journal, which shows that colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks second in China
and fourth in the United States. It is worth noting that since 2000, the case fatality rate of CRC in China has skyrocketed,
while the United States has gradually declined. Finding tumor markers with high sensitivity and specificity
is our primary goal to reduce the case fatality rate of CRC. Studies have shown that CRD-BP (Insulin-like
growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1) can affect a variety of signaling pathways, such as Wntnuclear factor
KB (NF-κB), and Hedgehog, and has good biological effects as a therapeutic target for CRC. CRD-BP is expected
to become a tumor marker with high sensitivity and specificity of CRC. This paper reviews the research on
CRD-BP as a tumor marker of CRC.
