Abstract: Hippo signaling pathway plays a significant role in the development of colorectal cancer, and acts  as an important regulatory pathway which regulates cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Multiple proteins and genes in Hippo signaling pathway, especially the downstream YAP protein, play important roles in the occurrence, metastasis, drug resistance and recurrence of colorectal cancer. YAP and other related genes can be used as targeted markers for predicting drug resistance to colorectal cancer. Hippo signaling pathway gene network can be used as targeted therapy or combination therapy, thus providing new ideas for the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Key words: Colorectal neoplasms, Molecular targeted therapy, Hippo signaling pathway, YAP protein
