Gene expression analyses identify a relationship between stanniocalcin 2 and the malignant behavior of colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the main causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Stanniocalcin 2 (STC2), a secreted glycoprotein, has been suggested to exert various functions in progression of many cancers. However, the precise biological role in CRC is not fully understood. Therefore, this study based on several public datasets aims at investigating the roles of STC2 in CRC
