Consistent results were observed in other tumor types, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), colorectal adenocarcinoma (COADREAD) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), where AEBP1 expression was strongly correlated with expression of both collagen family genes and CAF markers (Figure 2A). This evidence concerns the gene AEBP1 and pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
