Abstract Forkhead box R2 (FOXR2), a member of the FOX gene family, has not been very well investigated for its role
in cancer. A recent study has shown that FOXR2 is highly expressed in breast cancer samples and is associated
with poor prognosis. In addition, FOXR2 was identified as an oncogene in medulloblastoma. Nevertheless,
whether FOXR2 plays a role in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. In the present study, we conducted
several in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate the expression and effect of FOXR2 in CRC. The study results
demonstrated that FOXR2 was upregulated More >
