Cuproptosis-associated genes (CAGs) contribute to the prognosis prediction and potential therapeutic targets in hepatocellular carcinoma

Cuproptosis is a novel form of cell death that exhibits close association with mitochondrial respiration and occurs through distinct mechanisms compared to previously characterized forms of cell death. However, the precise impact of cuproptosis-associated genes (CAGs) on prognosis, immune profiles, and treatment efficacy in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) remains poorly understood.
