Moreover, we found that high expression of PCMT1 indicated poor prognosis in invasive breast (p = 2e-04), lung squamous cell (p = 0.035) and liver (p = 0.0031) cancers as shown in Kaplan–Meier survival curves from TCGA dataset (Fig. 1G), which further indicated that PCMT1 may play important roles in cancer progression. This evidence concerns the gene PCMT1 and cancer.
