Osteosarcoma (OS) is a commonly observed malignant tumor in orthopedics that has a very poor prognosis. The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) is important for the development and progression of cancer and may be a significant target for cancer therapy. First, we built a prognostic signature using 7 ESCRT-related genes (ERGs) to predict OS patient prognosis.
