Background: The GINS complex is related to cancer development, invasion, and poor prognosis in multiple tumors. In the study, we attempted to investigate the prognostic value of in sarcoma patients.
Methods: We analyzed expression using Tumor IMmune Estimation Resource (TIMER) 2.0, Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO; GSE21122, GSE39262, and GSE21050), and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases. The prognostic value of was explored using the survival and survminer packages of R. Genetic alteration analysis was investigated using cBioPortal. The Cell-type Identification by Estimating Relative Subsets of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT) R script was used for the immunocyte infiltration analysis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) targeting were predicted using GEO (GSE69470) and MicroRNA Target Prediction Database (miRDB).
Results: We found that was overexpressed in sarcoma, especially in metastatic samples, and was associated with a worse prognosis. High expression was a poor prognostic indicator for sarcoma patients. Moreover, alteration was associated with worse survival of sarcoma patients. Immune infiltration analysis indicated that expression was correlated with the infiltration of M0 and M2 macrophages in sarcoma. Finally, the miRNA hsa-miR-376a-3p was identified to potentially regulate in sarcoma.
Conclusions: These results indicate that may be a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for sarcoma.

This study aims to investigate the expression of seven cancer testis antigens (MAGE-A1, MAGE-A4, MAGE-A10, MAGE-A11, PRAME, NY-ESO-1 and KK-LC-1) in pan squamous cell carcinoma and their prognostic value, thus assessing the potential of these CTAs as immunotherapeutic targets. The protein expression of these CTAs was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 60 lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), 62 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCA) and 62 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). The relationship between CTAs expression and progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed.

Background: The prognostic value of Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) infection in postoperative lung cancer patients remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between Cpn infection and survival in lung cancer patients.
Methods: This study included 309 newly diagnosed primary lung cancer patients from three hospitals in Fuzhou, China.

Background: Vocal fold leukoplakia (VFL), a precancerous lesion of the larynx, is characterized by white plaques on the vocal fold mucous membrane. Currently, there are no reliable biomarkers to predict the recurrence and malignant transformation of VFL. Considering chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) as a biomarker for malignant tumors such as laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), we conducted this cohort study to evaluate the prognostic influence of CSPG4 expression on VFL patients.

Netrin-1 (NTN1) is a laminin-related secreted protein involved in axon guidance and cell migration. Previous research has established a significant connection between NTN1 and nervous system development. In recent years, mounting evidence indicates that NTN1 also plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis and tumor progression.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is genetically complex and difficult to treat. Detection in the early stage is challenging, leading to diagnosis at advanced stages with limited treatment options. This study examined the collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 gene (CTHRC1) as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in HNSCC.
