Subsequently, we assessed the relationship between PDCL3 and tumor stage, and the results indicated that PDCL3 expression was correlated with T stage in ACC, BRCA, LIHC, and LUAD, lymph node metastasis in ACC, HNSC, and LUAD, and distant metastasis in KIRP. This evidence concerns the gene PDCL3 and adrenal cortex carcinoma.
