Prediction of the immunological and prognostic value of five signatures related to fatty acid metabolism in patients with cervical cancer.

ABSTRACT: A growing attention has been attached to the role of fatty acid metabolism (FAM) in the development of cancer, and cervical cancer (CC) is still the primary cause of cancer-associated death in women worldwide. Therefore, it is imperative to explore the possible prognostic significance of FAM in CC. In this study, CC samples and corresponding normal samples were acquired from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx). Single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was conducted for calculating FAM-related scores (FAMRs) to screen FAM-related genes (FAMRGs). Two subtypes related to FAM were identified by consistent clustering. Among them, subtype C2 had a poor prognosis, and C1 had a high level of immune cell infiltration, while C2 had a high possibility of im
