Comprehensive Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Prognostic Value of an EMT-Related Gene Signature in Colorectal Cancer

Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is closely related to the postoperative recurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC), and greatly affects patient survival. Conducting Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), we found that the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signaling pathway is the signaling pathway most relevant to the process of LNM. An EMT-related gene signature was identified from a discovery dataset obtained...
