These genes were uploaded to the GEPIA database (Fig. 10a–g), which showed that in cervical cancer and paracancerous tissues, the expression levels of seven genes, CD47, FKBP4, IRF-1, LDHA, PDIA3, TFRC, and SLC16A1, were significantly higher in cancer tissues (p < 0.05) than in healthy tissues. Here, LDHA is linked to cancer.
