As an example of the current interest in this field, Ma and collaborators [133], using LASSO Cox regression analysis in the TCGA NSCLC database, demonstrated that eight genes (BLACAT1, ALPP, SLC6A11, IGFN1, HIST1H2BH, KCNJ12, FOLR3, and RPS4XP22) based on risk score could predict the prognosis of NSCLC patients with or without radiotherapy treatment. Here, ALPP is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
