Biological Functions and Prognostic Value of Ferroptosis-Related Genes in Bladder Cancer

Background: Every year, nearly 170,000 people die from bladder cancer worldwide. A major problem after transurethral resection of bladder tumor is that 40–80% of the tumors recur. Ferroptosis is a type of regulatory necrosis mediated by iron-catalyzed, excessive oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty ac...
