The ferroptosis-related LncRNA CASC9 reveals its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
A newly identified RNA marker linked to iron-driven cell death may help diagnose and predict outcomes in esophageal cancer, a disease needing better detection tools.
LncRNA CASC9 is associated with ferroptosis pathways and demonstrates diagnostic and prognostic utility in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, providing a novel candidate biomarker for a cancer with poor prognosis and limited early detection tools. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
