Identification of PANoptosis-related genes as prognostic indicators of thyroid cancer

Abstract Background: Thyroid cancer (THCA) has become a common malignancy in recent years, with the mortality rate steadily increasing. PANoptosis is a unique kind of programmed cell death (PCD), including pyroptosis, necroptosis, and apoptosis, and is involved in the proliferation and prognosis of numerous cancers. This paper demonstrated the connection between PANoptosis-related genes and THCA based on the analyses of Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases, which have not been evaluated yet. Methods: We identified
