Prognostic value and immunological role of AXL gene in clear cell renal cell carcinoma associated with identifying LncRNA/RBP/AXL mRNA networks

Abstract Backgrounds This article aimed to explore the prognostic and immunological roles of AXL gene in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) for overall survival (OS) and to identify the LncRNA/RBP/AXL mRNA networks. Methods AXL-related gene expression matrix and clinical data were obtained from...
