Screening of CXC chemokines in the microenvironment of ovarian cancer and the biological function of CXCL10

Abstract Background This study aims to screen and identify the biological functions and prognostic value of CXC chemokines in ovarian cancer (OC) through bioinformatics and molecular biology methods, and to provide data support for the selection of biomarkers and prognostic analysis of OC. Methods I...
