Evidence has shown that higher STING expression in human CRC specimens was associated with better survival and responsiveness to chemotherapy 5‐Fluorouracil (5‐FU) (112), a widely used chemotherapeutic drug, whose responsiveness requires a fully functional cancer cell-intrinsic cGAS-STING pathway, as well as IFN‐sensing by bone‐marrow‐derived cells (BMDCs) (112). This evidence concerns the gene IFNA1 and cancer.
