Two or more databases demonstrated that ANGPTL8/betatrophin significantly affected the survival of KIRC, uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PCPG) and sarcoma (SARC); patients with PCPG and SARC may benifit from high ANGPTL8/betatrophin expression while high ANGPTL8/betatrophin expression was associated with poor prognosis in KIRC and UCEC. This evidence concerns the gene ANGPTL8 and pheochromocytoma.
