We observed that ETV5 corelates with cell proliferation markers in adjCTX treated patients in most of the datasets (Supplementary Table S3) suggesting a significant role of ETV5 in cancer cell proliferation as observed in the colorectal cancer cells (Bazzocco et al., 2015) and other cancer cells (Puli et al., 2018; Mus et al., 2020). Here, ETV5 is linked to cancer.
