Na+/H+-Exchanger Family as Novel Prognostic Biomarkers in Colorectal Cancer

Background. The acidic characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME) are attributed to cancer cells’ needs of metabolism which produce a large amount of H+. In order not to affect its own life activities, it needs to release H+ into the intercellular space through an efficient Na+/H+ exchanger...
