Cuproptosis is a newly discovered type of cell death. The role and potential mechanism of Cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in the prognosis of cancer patients are not fully understood. In this study, we included two cohorts of clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients, TCGA and E-MTAB-1980. The TCGA cohort is used as a training set to construct a CRG signature using the LASSO-cox regression analysis, and E-MTAB-1980 is used as a cohort for verification. A total of eight genes (FDX1, LIAS, LIPT1, DLAT, PDHA1, MTF1, GLS, CDKN2A) were screened to construct a prognostic model in the TCGA cohort. There is a significant difference in OS (p < 0.0001) between the high and low cuproptosis score group, and a similar difference is also observed in the OS (p = 0.0054) of the E-MTAB-1980 cohort. The area under the ROC curves (AUC) were 0.87, 0.82, and 0.78 at 1, 3, and 5 years in the TCGA cohort, respectively. Finally, gene set enrichment analysis revealed that CRGs were associated with cell cycle and mitotic signaling pathways.

Bladder cancer (BlCa) exhibits a highly heterogeneous molecular landscape and treatment response, underlining the pressing need for personalized prognosis. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) constitutes the most abundant RNA modification, modulates RNA biology/metabolism, and maintains cellular homeostasis, with its dysregulation involved in cancer initiation and progression. Herein, we evaluated the clinical value of METTL3 m6A methyltransferase, the main catalytic component of m6A methylation machinery, in improving BlCa patients' risk stratification and prognosis.

Purpose: Bladder cancer (BLCA) is one of the most common urogenital malignancies in the world. The stroma of the tumor microenvironment (TME) largely affects the progression of BLCA. However, a stroma-relevant biomarker for predicting BLCA progression is still lacking.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prognosis continues to be challenging due to tumor heterogeneity and dynamic immunosuppressive microenvironments. Although pyroptosis plays a critical role in tumor-immune interactions, its prognostic significance in HCC at single-cell resolution has not been systematically investigated.
Methods: We analyzed a publicly available single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from 10 HCC tumors and paired adjacent tissue samples (60,496 cells) to elucidate pyroptosis-related gene (PRG) profiles.

Objectives: Increasing detection of low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is associated with overdiagnosis and overtreatment. N6-methyladenosine (mA)-mediated microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation plays a critical role in tumor metastasis and progression. However, the functional role of mA-miRNAs in PTC remains unclear.

Objectives: To analyze the differences in the prognosis of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) among different races using the US Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.
Methods: We analyzed the data of patients with gastric SRCC from the SEER database from 2000 to 2020, and divided the patients into cohorts of whites, blacks, Asians or Pacific Islanders, American Indians/Alaska Natives according to their race. The prognosis and treatment of the cohorts were evaluated using baseline demographic analysis, Kamplan-Meier survival curve, and nomogram analysis.
