Comprehensive transcriptome profiling in elderly cancer patients reveals aging‐altered immune cells and immune checkpoints
19 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Aging is the single most significant risk factor for cancer development. However, the potential impact of aging on cancer microenvironment remains poorly understood. Here, we performed a pan-cancer transcriptome analysis to identify aging-specific molecular patterns across 18 cancer types. Strikingly, aging-specific molecular features define human cancers into two types, including the strong and weak aging-effect...
