Bioinformatic screening for candidate biomarkers and their prognostic values in endometrial cancer
Abstract Background Endometrial cancer is a common gynecological cancer with annually increasing incidence worldwide. However, the biomarkers that provide prognosis and progression for this disease remain elusive. Results Two eligible human endometrial cancer datasets (GSE17025 and GSE25405) were se...
