Methods: We investigated the differential expression of 15 efferocytosis-related molecules (Axl, Tyro3, MerTK, CX3CL1, Tim-4, BAI1, Stab2, Gas6, IDO1, Rac1, MFGE8, ICAM-1, CD47, CD31, and PD-L1) and other 12 common immune checkpoint-related molecules in tumor and normal tissues, the correlation between their expression and various clinicopathological features in 16 types of cancers using publicly available pancancer datasets in The Cancer Genome Atlas. This evidence concerns the gene CX3CL1 and cancer.
