An immunogenic cell death-related gene expression signature in predicting prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Background: Immunogenic cell death (ICD) has been identified as regulated cell death, which is sufficient to activate the adaptive immune response. This study aimed to research ICD-related genes and create a gene model to predict pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PAAD) patients' prognosis.

Methods: The RNA sequencing and clinical data were downloaded from the TGCA and GEO databases.
