To have a systemic view of HOXC8 expression in various cancer types, we utilized eBioPortal to compare the level of HOXC8 mRNA across 30 cancer categories using dataset from Pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes [16] and found that the level of HOXC8 mRNA was high in 8 cancer categories (Fig. 1A). This evidence concerns the gene HOXC8 and cancer.
