Core Tip

Core Tip: Our study explored the correlation between interstitial maturity and the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer through meta-analysis. We will collect and analyze data from the literature on interstitial maturity assessment and prognostic indicators in colorectal cancer patients to verify its relevance and evaluate its application prospects in clinical practice. This study will provide a new perspective for understanding the development mechanisms of colorectal cancer and provide a scientific basis for the formulation of clinical treatment strategies.
