Core Tip

Core Tip: In this study, China's most common malignancy is gastric cancer (GC), which has a poor survival rate. Pyroptosis is connected to cancer development. The function of pyroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (PRLs) in GC is uncertain. In our study, we took advantage of the 352 gastric adenocarcinoma samples included in the TCGA database and obtained data on 28 cases related to the pyroptotic genes from the Reactome database. We used the Pearson correlation coefficient method to screen out the long non-coding RNAs associated with pyroptosis. Using univariate Cox analysis, we identified the PRL associated with prognosis. By using PRLs, we created a completely new prognostic marker, which may provide ideas for immunotherapy in GC patients.
