Exploring powerful signatures for the evaluation of immunotherapy outcomes remain the primary purpose. We constructed a ferroptosis-related gene (FRG) signature by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and Cox regression, identified 10 independent prognostic FRGs in a training cohort (GSE62564), and then verified them in an external validation cohort (TCGA).

The common mechanism of MDR is various anticancer drugs can be effluxed by the cell membrane protein P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Here, we found that ectopic overexpression of Shc3 was detected specifically in drug-resistant breast cancer cells, consequently reducing sensitivity to chemotherapy and promoting cell migration by mediating P-gp expression.

In this study, data from 164 pediatric patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) were retrospectively analyzed and patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (115) and a validation cohort (49) in a 7:3 ratio. To extract radiomics features from ultrasound images of the thyroid, areas of interest (ROIs) were delineated layer by layer along the edge of the tumor contour.

Methods: Public datasets and clinical NB samples were collected to evaluate the expression and clinical significance of GD2 and B3GALT4 in NB patients.
