Therapeutic targeting of Wnt has long been suggested for gastrointestinal (GI) cancer treatment because deregulation of Wnt signaling is associated with GI cancers. However, therapeutic targeting of Wnt is still challenging because of the pleiotropic roles of Wnt signaling in the human body. Thus, targeting strategies of Wnt signaling are continuously evolving. The current flows of targeting Wnt signaling for cancer treatment are focused on increasing the specificity of drugs and combinatory treatment with other cancer drugs that minimize side effects and increase efficacy. Additionally, increased knowledge about the β-catenin paradox has expanded the cases that can be treated with Wnt targeting therapy, not strictly considering Wnt upstream and downstream mutations. Here, we discuss these evolving views of targeting Wnt signaling and describe examples of current clinical trials. Wnt signaling governs tissue development, homeostasis, and regeneration. However, aberrant activation of Wnt promotes tumorigenesis. Despite the ongoing efforts to manipulate Wnt signaling, therapeutic targeting of Wnt signaling remains challenging. In this review, we provide an overview of current clinical trials to target Wnt signaling, with a major focus on gastrointestinal cancers. In addition, we discuss the caveats and alternative strategies for therapeutically targeting Wnt signaling for cancer treatment.
