Identification of hub genes and key modules in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the prominent cancer in head and neck, which greatly affects life quality of patients. The pathogenesis of LSCC is not clear. Presently, the LSCC treatments include chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy; however, these methods have poor efficacy in patients with recurrent and persistent cancer. Therefore, the study identified the hub genes accompanied with LSCC, which may be a potential therapeutic target in the future.

Methods

We extracted whole transcriptome high-throughput sequencing (HTS) LSCC data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases and calculate differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between LSCC and normal samples using statistical software RStudio. Through weighted gene
