Abstract: SOX4 is a member of the group C subfamily from the SOX family,and it may promote tumorigenesis by conferring the ability of cancer cells to survive,migrate and invasive.There are multiple lines of evidence supporting the idea that SOX4 is an important oncogene.SOX4 is overexpressed in a variety of malignancies,including a variety of digestive system tumors,which are the most common cause of death among cancer patients in developing countries.In recent years,the molecular mechanism of SOX4-induced malignant transformation and its relationship with digestive system tumors have become a focus of research and a frontier area.This article reviews the research status of SOX4 in digestive system tumors.

Key words: SOX4 gene, Digestive system tumors, Malignant tumor
