VEGFA and rectum adenocarcinoma: Liu, Wang & Li (2022) also screened genes related to glycolysis and immunity from public databases and developed a risk score model consisting of six glycolysis-immunity-related genes (ALDOC, VEGFA, PADI3, IGSF11, MIPOL1, and HGR) for oral squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, another previous study also screened six genes as independent prognostic genes for colon adenocarcinoma by performing enrichment analysis on the glycolysis-associated gene set but this model was not suitable for patients with rectal adenocarcinoma (Liu et al., 2022).
