The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating colorectal cancer including a material inhibiting the enzyme activity of peroxiredoxin 2 as an active ingredient, and more specifically, to a pharmaceutical composition for treating colorectal cancer, which exhibits the effect of reducing colon polyps via increase of active β-catenin degradation by inhibiting the activity of peroxiredoxin 2, based on the mechanism that promotes colorectal tumor by the interaction between peroxiredoxin 2 (PrxII) and tankyrase (TNKS) in an APC-mutant cell.
