The Bioinformatics-Based Analysis Identifies 7 Immune-Related Genes as Prognostic Biomarkers for Colon Cancer

Colon cancer poses a great threat to human health. Currently, there is no effective treatment for colon cancer due to its complex causative factors. Immunotherapy has now become a new method for tumor treatment. In this study, 487 DEGs were screened from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and I...
