Cervical cancer (CC) is a malignant tumor threatening women's health. Replication factor C (RFC) 5 is significantly highly expressed in CC tissues, and the immune microenvironment plays a crucial role in tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis.
To determine the prognostic role of RFC5 in CC, analyze the immune genes significantly associated with RFC5, and establish a nomogram to evaluate the prognosis of patients with CC.
High RFC5 expression in patients with CC was analyzed and verified through TCGA GEO, TIMER2.0, and HPA databases. A risk score model was constructed using RFC5-related immune genes identified using R packages. Combining the risk score model and clinical information of patients with CC, a nomogram was constructed to evaluate the prognosis of patients with CC.
Comprehensive analysis showed that the risk score was a prognostic factor for CC. The nomogram could predict the 3-year overall survival of patients with CC.
RFC5 was validated as a biomarker for CC. The RFC5 related immune genes were used to establish a new prognostic model of CC.
宫颈癌(CC)是一种威胁女性健康的恶性肿瘤。复制因子 C(RFC)5 在 CC 组织中表达显著升高,免疫微环境在肿瘤的发生、发展和转移中起着至关重要的作用。
确定 RFC5 在 CC 中的预后作用,分析与 RFC5 显著相关的免疫基因,并建立列线图来评估 CC 患者的预后。
通过 TCGA GEO、TIMER2.0 和 HPA 数据库分析和验证 CC 患者中高 RFC5 表达。使用 R 包识别与 RFC5 相关的免疫基因,构建风险评分模型。结合 CC 患者的风险评分模型和临床信息,构建列线图来评估 CC 患者的预后。
综合分析表明,风险评分是 CC 的一个预后因素。该列线图可以预测 CC 患者的 3 年总生存率。
RFC5 被验证为 CC 的生物标志物。利用 RFC5 相关免疫基因建立了 CC 的新预后模型。
