Integrated clinical analyses uncovered strong positive correlations between AURKB and PSAT1 expression in CRC tissues from the TCGA-COAD cohort (Spearman R = 0.46, P < 0.0001; Fig. 4I) and our clinical center (Spearman R = 0.61, P = 0.0013; Fig. 4J). This evidence concerns the gene AURKB and colorectal carcinoma.
