Cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) have been recently discovered to regulate the occurrence and development of various tumors by controlling cuproptosis, a novel type of copper ion-dependent cell death. Although...
Radical prostatectomy remains the fundamental treatment for prostate cancer, and improving patients’ compliance with postoperative follow-ups is essential for improving patients’ quality of life. This study in...
Traditional estimates can only provide static predictions of cancer outcomes and cannot assess the evolving effect of race on patient survival. This study aims to reveal the dynamic survival of patients with b...
I kappa B kinase interacting protein, a highly conserved gene, has rarely been reported in cancer. According to previous study, IKBIP has only been shown to promote malignant progression of glioma. In other ma...
