Prognostic Value of Eight-Gene Signature in Head and Neck Squamous Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide. In this study, we performed an integrative analysis of the discovery set and established an eight-gene signature for the prediction of prognosis in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Univariate Cox analysis was used to identify prognosis-related genes (with P < 0.05) in the GSE41613, GSE65858, and TCGA-HNSC RNA-Seq datasets after data collection. We performed LASSO Cox regression analysis and identified eight genes (CBX3, GNA12, P4HA1, PLAU, PPL, RAB25, EPHX3, and HLF) with non-zero regression coefficients in TCGA-HNSC datasets. Survival analysis revealed that the overall survival (OS) of GSE41613 and GSE65858 datasets and the progression-free survival(DFS)of GSE27020 and GSE42743 datasets in th
