ABSTRACT: Background
Colonic adenocarcinoma (COAD) is the most common pathological type of colon cancer. Tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in the occurrence and development of COAD. There are currently no specific studies indicating the mechanism of action of TME in COPD patients.Methods
The percentage of tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIC) in 512 COAD cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was calculated using CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE. Weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to find modules of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with high correlations followed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses to determine the function of distant metastasis (M)-stage-related
