In this editorial, we review the work of Razali et al published in World J Gastroenterology, with a particular focus on the effect of rs10889677 variation in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway and buparlisib on colitis-associated cancer. The role of PI3K in promoting cancer progression has been widely recognized, as it is involved in regulating the survival, differentiation, and proliferation of cancer cells. The complement Clq/TNF-related protein 6 (CTRP6) is a newer tumor-associated factor. Recent studies have revealed the pro-tumor effect of CTRP6 in gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and other gastrointestinal tumors through the PI3K pathway. This article attempts to reveal the mechanism through which the CTRP6 affects the development of digestive system tumors through the PI3K pathway by summarizing recent research. ©The Author(s) 2024.
