Pan-cancer analysis of INHBA indicates its potential prognostic value and correlation with HNSC and LIHC

Abstract Background: INHBA is a member of the TGF-β superfamily and is overexpressed in a variety of cancers and affects prognosis.However, its pan-cancer expression profile and specific roles in HNSC and LIHC remain poorly understood. Methods: We used several databases such as TCGA to study the pan-cancer effects of INHBA, including the expression of INHBA and its correlation with clinical survival, immune checkpoints, tumor stemness scores, prognostic value, immunomodulators, genomic profiles, immune profiling, immunotherapy and functional enrichment; and further analyzed
