Core Tip Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) is a promising biomarker and potential therapeutic target for colon adenocarcinoma diagnosis and prognosis. Our letter calls for a stronger biological rationale for FABP4’s role and advocates using Mendelian randomization to confirm its causal links. Incorporating machine learning and deep learning can yield more precise prognostic models. We also propose exploring multi-target strategies related to FABP4 and encourage future studies to combine experimental validation to reduce bioinformatics false positives. This allows us to elucidate underlying molecular biological mechanisms, offering fresh insights for personalized colon adenocarcinoma treatment.
