Keeping these lacunae in hindsight, we have undertaken a pan-cancer approach for comprehensive analysis of expression levels of seven elongation factors namely, EEF1A1, EEF1A2, EEF1B2, EEF1G, EEF1D, EEF1E1 and EEF2, using publicly available databases (Oncomine and TCGA). This evidence concerns the gene EEF2 and cancer.
