A novel identified pyroptosis-related prognostic signature of colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the most common malignancies worldwide, leads to abundant cancer-related mortalities annually. Pyroptosis, a new kind of programmed cell death, plays a critical role in immune response and tumor progression. Our study aimed to identify a prognostic signature for CRC b...

Colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the most common malignancies worldwide, leads to abundant cancer-related mortalities annually. Pyroptosis, a new kind of programmed cell death, plays a critical role in immune response and tumor progression. Our study aimed to identify a prognostic signature for CRC based on pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs). The difference in PRGs between CRC tissues and normal tissues deposited in the TCGA database was calculated by "limma" R package. The tumor microenvironment (TME) of CRC cases was accessed by the ESTIMATE algorithm. The prognostic PRGs were identified using Cox regression analysis. A least absolute shrinkage and selector operation (LASSO) algorithm was used to calculate the risk scores and construct a clinical predictive model of CRC.
