Identification of Immune-Related Prognostic Markers in Gastric Cancer

Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor with a high fatality rate. Poor prognosis is the main cause of death caused by GC. In this study, the gene expression difference between GC and the control group was analyzed. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to immunity were screened for enrichment analysis. The differences in immune cell infiltration and immune function between GC and normal were identified. Cox regression analysis and survival analysis were used to determine the prognostic genes of GC in TCGA and GSE62254. The potential prognostic role of genes was further evaluated by risk score. Difference genes in GC were analyzed in TCGA. Candidate genes in TCGA and GSE62254 are analyzed, and prognostic genes are determined. The potential prognostic role of genes was further evaluated by risk score. The immune-related prognostic markers in GC were determined. FABP4, LBP, LCN1, CMA1, INHBA, ANGPTL1, ACKR1, GHR, and OGN may be used as markers for monitoring the prognosis of GC in the future.
