摘要

The Wnt signaling pathway plays a crucial role in development and tissue homeostasis, regulating key cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. However, its abnormal activation is strongly associated with tumorigenesis, metastasis, and resistance to therapy, making it a vital target for cancer treatment. This review provides a comprehensive insight into the role of Wnt signaling in cancer, examining its normal physiological functions, dysregulation in malignancies, and therapeutic potential. We emphasize the importance of predicting Wnt signaling sensitivity and identify key biomarkers across various cancer types. Additionally, we address the challenges and future prospects of Wnt-targeted therapies, including biomarker discovery, advancements in emerging technologies, and their application in clinical practice.
