Shotaro Fujita has made significant contributions to the understanding of colorectal cancer through various studies. Research on the CGAS-sting pathway revealed its critical role in regulating the tumor-immune microenvironment, while investigating upper extremity deep vein thrombosis post-esophagectomy found a notable incidence rate. The study of Sh2d4a downregulation due to chromosome 8p loss showed an association with poor prognosis and low T cell infiltration. Additionally, Fujita's work validated predictive biomarkers for response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer, and identified Paics downregulation linked to poor survival in stage III colorectal cancer.
