The Role of CDCA2 in tumor genesis, prognosis and future treatments.

The Cell Division Cycle Associated 2 (CDCA2) gene is responsible for encoding a targeting subunit of cell-cycle associated protein. CDCA2 plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including chromosome segregation and decondensation, nuclear envelope reassembly, microtubule assembly, and DNA damage response. Additionally, CDCA2 is involved in multiple signaling pathways such as the PI3K/Akt pathway and p53 pathway. Undoubtedly, there exists a strong association between CDCA2 and cancer. Numerous studies have reported that elevated levels of CDCA2 are correlated with poor prognosis and several clinicopathological characteristics like tumor size and TNM stage across different types of cancer. Therefore, CDCA2 holds great potential as both a biomarker for diagnosis and a therapeutic target for interventions such as targeted therapies or immunotherapy. Given its promising prospects in scientific research and clinical applications, it is imperative for researchers to delve into the underlying mechanisms of CDCA2 and explore its utilization.
