Development of a novel five-gene immune-related risk model for the prognosis evaluation of prostate adenocarcinoma patients.

The interaction between the immune cells and the host immune system with the tumor cells is significantly associated with the initiation and progression of prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD), whereas the application of immune-related genes (IRGs) for the prognosis evaluation of PRAD patients is still lacking. In this study, we aimed to identify IRGs with prognostic values and to develop a clinically effective risk model. Wilcoxon rank-sum test and univariate Cox analysis were applied to identify the differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEIRGs) related to the survival of PRAD patients.

A Novel Autophagy-Related Prognostic Risk Model and a Nomogram for Survival Prediction of Oral Cancer Patients.

Background: This study is aimed at constructing a risk signature to predict survival outcomes of ORCA patients.

Methods: We identified differentially expressed autophagy-related genes (DEARGs) based on the RNA sequencing data in the TCGA database; then, four independent survival-related ARGs were identified to construct an autophagy-associated signature for survival prediction of ORCA patients. The validity and robustness of the prognostic model were validated by clinicopathological data and survival data.

Establishment and validation of an autophagy-related prognostic signature for survival predicting in cutaneous melanoma.

Existing staging system for prognosis evaluating for Skin Cutaneous Melanoma (SKCM) patients had defects of subjective, inaccuracy and inconsistently, therefore, to identify specific and applicable prognostic markers and promote personalized therapeutic interventions is urgently required. This study aims to build a robust autophagy-related genes (ARGs) signature for prognosis monitoring of SKCM patients. We determined 26 ARGs as differentially expressed autophagy-related genes (DEARGs) from 103 SKCM and 23 normal skin samples in GSE15605 and GSE3189 datasets.
