CXCL9 and neoplasm: We found high stromal and immune scores and macrophage infiltration predicting poor tumor differentiation and severe local invasion, obtained a list of prognostic genes based on stromal-immune signature, and explored the interaction of collagen, chemokines such as CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11, and macrophage through coexpression analysis and may provide novel prognostic biomarkers and immunotherapeutic targets for STAD.
