Identification of a novel prognostic signature composed of 3 cuproptosis-related transcription factors in colon adenocarcinoma.

Background: Since the mechanism of cuproptosis was recently revealed, many molecules related to this pathway have been widely concerned and exploited to have prognostic potential. However, it is still unknown whether the transcription factors related to cuproptosis could be competent as tumor biomarkers of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD).

Objective: To analyze the prognostic potential of cuproptosis-related transcription factors in COAD, and validate the representative molecule.
