The role of RETN in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD): insights from pan-cancer analysis of RNA-seq data based on the TCGA database

Abstract Objective: To analyze the expression and significance of resistin (RETN) in pan-cancer and determine the prospect of RETN as a biomarker for STAD, providing a new diagnostic and therapeutic target for STAD. Methods: Based on the RNA-seq data from the TCGA database, RETN was comprehensively analyzed from the perspective of pan-cancer. Firstly, the expression of RETN, correlation of immune infiltration, diagnostic efficacy and prognostic value in pan-cancer were investigated. Subsequently, the potential value of RETN as a biomarker for
