CTHRC1 Is Associated With Immune Escape and Poor Prognosis in Gastric Cancer.

Background/aim: Collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 (CTHRC1) promotes tumor progression by regulating the immunosuppression of the tumor microenvironment. However, the function of CTHRC1 in gastric cancer (GC) and its relationship with tumor-infiltrating immune cells remains unclear.

Patients And Methods: Data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.
