By utilizing the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset, a previous study found that the key molecular marker of growth immune evasion PD-1 was completely related to the expression of AFAP1-AS1 in nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) and that they are co-expressed in infiltrating lymphocytes in NPC tissues (47). Here, PDCD1 is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
