Biological Functions and Prognostic Value of Ferroptosis-Related Genes in Bladder Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Background: Every year, nearly 170,000 people die from bladder cancer worldwide. A major problem after transurethral resection of bladder tumor is that 40-80% of the tumors recur. Ferroptosis is a type of regulatory necrosis mediated by iron-catalyzed, excessive oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Increasing the sensitivity of tumor cells to ferroptosis is a potential treatment option for cancer. Establishing a diagnostic and prognostic model based on ferroptosis-related genes may provide guidance for the precise treatment of bladder cancer. Methods: We downloaded mRNA data in Bladder Cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas and analyzed differentially expressed genes based on and extract ferroptosis-related genes. We identified relevant pathways and annotate the functions o
