TCGA showed that the p53 signaling pathway, ferroptosis, Kaposi sarcoma − associated herpesvirus infection, IL − 17 signaling pathway, MicroRNAs in cancer, TNF signaling pathway, PI3K − Akt signaling pathway and HIF − 1 signaling pathway were significantly different from those in the high-risk group. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is Herpesviridae infectious disease.
