Bladder cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy in urinary system and prone to recurrence metastasis. Pyroptosis a kind of cell necrosis that triggered by gasdermin protein family. lncRNAs are noncoding RNAs more than 200 nucleotides long. Both pyroptosis associated with tumor development progression. This study aimed at exploring establishing prognostic signature BC based on pyroptosis-related lncRNAs. In this study, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database provided us RNA sequencing...

This study is aimed at constructing and verifying nomograms that forecast overall survival (OS) cancer-specific (CSS) of children with Wilms' tumor (WT). Clinical information 1613 WT patients who were under 18 years old between 1988 2010 was collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database. Using these data, we performed univariate as well multivariate Cox's regression analyses to determine independent prognostic factors for WT. Then, predict 3- 5-year OS CSS rates...

The primary subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) include clear cell, papillary and chromophobe RCC. RCC occurs often due to loss von Hippel‑Lindau (VHL) accumulation lipids glycogen, cells may exhibit sensitivity the disruption normal metabolism or homologous recombination gene defect. Although application molecular‑targeted drugs (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) immune checkpoint inhibitors has been recommended for treatment advanced RCC, more targets DNA damage repair (DDR) signaling pathway...

To predict survival outcomes for individual patients with clinical T1 high‑grade (T1HG) bladder cancer (BC), data from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database were analyzed in present study. The of 6,980 cases T1HG BC between 2004 2014 obtained SEER database. Uni‑ multivariate Cox analyses performed to identify significant prognostic factors. Subsequently, nomograms predicting 3‑ 5‑year overall (OS) cancer‑specific (CSS) rates constructed based on Clinical information...
