The CAF-related signature of eight genes was constructed, and the CAF score was calculated. The prognosis of LUAD patients with high CAF scores was significantly worse than that of patients with low CAF scores. CAF score was an independent risk factor for LUAD prognosis. Patients with high CAF scores were sensitive to some chemotherapy drugs, and in most cases, they were non-responsive to immunotherapy.

A prognostic risk model and nomogram were constructed and validated based on these genes. Pseudotime analysis clarified T cell differentiation processes in CESC. Ultimately, Mendelian randomization (MR) was applied to determine the causal relationship between the prognostic genes and CESC. In this study, CXCL2, ANKRD22, SPP1, and C1QB were identified as prognostic genes for CESC. Survival analysis indicated that the survival rate of the high-risk cohort (HRC) was significantly lower compared to that of the low-risk cohort (LRC).
