RSAD2, a pyroptosis-related gene, predicts the prognosis and immunotherapy response for colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most prevalent malignant tumors, known for its high heterogeneity. Although many treatments and medications are available, the long-term survival rate of CRC patients is far from satisfactory. Pyroptosis is closely related to tumor progression. This study aimed to identify pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) and candidate biomarkers to predict the prognosis of CRC patients. Used bioinformatics, we identified PRGs and subsequently screened 288 co-expression genes between pyroptosis-related modules and differentially expressed genes in CRC. Among these hub genes, we selected the top 24 for further analysis and found that Radical S-Adenosyl Methionine Domain Containing 2 (RSAD2) was a novel biomarker associated with the progression of CRC. We developed a risk
