Construction of an Esophageal Cancer Prognostic Model Based on Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism-Related Genes and Mechanism of INHBA in Promoting Malignant Progression via the Smad2/3 Pathway
Objective: Esophageal cancer (ESCA) has poor prognosis and lacks reliable biomarkers. This study aimed to construct a mitochondrial energy metabolism-related prognostic model and identify key regulatory genes. Methods: TCGA-ESCA and GSE53625 data were used as training and validation cohorts, respectively. Mitochondrial...
