Comprehensive Analysis of Subtype-Specific Molecular Characteristics of Colon Cancer: Specific Genes, Driver Genes, Signaling Pathways, and Immunotherapy Responses

Colon cancer is a complex, heterogeneous disease. The Colorectal Cancer Subtyping Consortium reported a novel classification system for colon cancer in 2015 to better understand its heterogeneity. This molecular classification system divided colon cancer into four distinct consensus molecular subtyp...

The Colorectal Cancer Subtyping Consortium reported a novel classification system for colon cancer in 2015 to better understand its heterogeneity.

We analyzed the alterations in the subtype-specific genes of different colon cancer subtypes, such as the RNA levels and DNA alterations, and showed that specific subtype-specific genes significantly affected prognosis.

description	Colon cancer is a complex, heterogeneous disease. The Colorectal Cancer Subtyping Consortium reported a novel classification system for colon cancer in 2015 to better understand its heterogeneity. This molecular classification system divided colon cancer into four distinct consensus molecular subtypes (CMS 1, 2, 3, and 4). However, the characteristics of different colon cancer molecular subtypes have not been fully elucidated. This study comprehensively analyzed the molecular characteristics of varying colon cancer subtypes using multiple databases and algorithms, including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, DriverDBv3 database, CIBERSORT, and MCP-counter algorithms.
