Core Tip

Core Tip: Angiogenesis plays an important role in colon cancer (CC) progression. This study identified two angiogenesis subtypes (AGSs) with significantly different prognoses, tumor microenvironment, intratumor microbiota, drug sensitivity, and cancer-related pathways single-sample gene set enrichment analysis scores in patients with CC. Based on the two AGSs, a convenient 6-gene angiogenesis-related signature (ARS), was established to predict the prognosis in CC patients. SLC2A3 was selected as the representative gene of ARS, which was higher expressed in endothelial cells and promoted the migration of HUVECs.
