Screening of four signature genes for clinical testing through bioinformatics and in vitro methods in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) is the 6 most common cancer around the globe; its underlying molecular mechanisms and accurate molecular markers are still lacking. In this study, we explored hub genes and their potential signaling pathways through which these genes participate in the development of HNSC. The GSE23036 gene microarray dataset was attained from the GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) database.

A pan-cancer analysis of HAVCR1 with a focus on diagnostic, prognostic and immunological roles in human cancers.

Objectives: Cancer is one of the most prominent causes of death world wide. Identification of novel cancer biomarkers woud help with cancer diagnosis and possible treatment.

Methods: In this study, we comprehensively studied the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic values of the hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1 (HAVCR1) gene across multiple cancers from a pan-cancer point of view via a detailed approach.
