Heme Oxygenase-1 Predicts Risk Stratification and Immunotherapy Efficacy in Lower Grade Gliomas
Background: Gliomas are the most common tumors in human brains with unpleasing outcomes. Heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1, HO-1) was a potential target for human cancers. However, their relationship remains incompletely discussed.Methods: We employed a total of 952 lower grade glioma (LGG) patients from TCGA...
