Comprehensive analysis reveals TSPEAR as a prognostic biomarker in colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT: Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors and has high morbidity and mortality rates. Previous studies have shown that TSPEAR mutations are involved in the development and progression of gastric cancer and liver cancer. However, the role of TSPEAR in CRC is still unclear. Methods: In The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, 590 CRC patients with complete survival information were analyzed. We assessed TSPEAR expression in a pan-cancer dataset from the TCGA database. Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate factors associated with prognosis. Enrichment analysis via the R package "clusterProfiler" was used to explore the potential function of TSPEAR. The single-sample GSEA (ssGSEA) method from the R package "GSVA" and the TIMER data
