ER stress-related mRNA-lncRNA co-expression gene signature predicts the prognosis and immune implications of esophageal cancer.

In this study, we developed a novel prognostic model for esophageal cancer based on ER stress-related mRNA-lncRNA co-expression profiles that could predict the prognosis, immune cell infiltration, and immunotherapy response in patients with EC. Our results also may provide clinicians with a quantitative tool to predict the survival time of patients and help them individualize treatment strategies for the patients with EC.
