Firstly, determining the expression of the top ten prognostic genes associated with a poor or favourable prognosis in all cancers identified by Gentles et al.25, we showed that 8 out of 10 genes associated with poor prognosis were upregulated by MUC1-ST-induced macrophages compared to M-CSF macrophages (Fig. 7a). This evidence concerns the gene MUC1 and cancer.
