ABSTRACT: Background
The role of lactate acid in tumor progression was well proved. Recently, it was found that lactate acid accumulation induced an immunosuppressive microenvironment. However, these results were based on a single gene and it was unclear that lactate acid genes were associated with immunotherapy and able to predict overall survival.Methods
Genes and survival data were acquired from TCGA, GEO and GENECARDS. PCA and TSNE were used to distinguish sample types according to lactate metabolism-associated gene expression. A Wilcox-test examined the expression differences between normal and tumor samples. The distribution in chromatin and mutant levels were displayed by Circo and MAfTools. The lactate metabolism-associated gene were divided into categories by consistent clus
