Abstract:Despite mounting evidence linking pyroptotic cell death to tumor growth, the clinical significance and disease mechanism of pyroptosis in cancer remain uncertain. In this study, we established a unique gene signature (π signature) that can be used as a predictive and prognostic tool in pyroptosis-related cancer subtypes. We found that the 13 core pyroptosis genes exerted opposite prognostic effects in different cancer types, which were subgrouped as pyroptosis positively related cancer and pyroptosis negativel… Show more
