CASP8 and breast cancer: Among these genes, the values of AKT1, STAT3, TP53, CTNNB1, CDKN1A, ESR1, VEGFA, MAPK1, MAPK3, CASP8, CCND1, MAPK14, RELA, TNF, EGFR, FOS, JUN, CXCL8, and STAT1 were greater than the twofold median values of BC, CC, and DC (286.3560165, 0.046954747, and 11), indicating that these 19 genes are the core targets in the PPI network (Figure 2(d)), where STAT3 has the highest degree value, suggesting that it may be most relevant to this research.
