Disease characteristics and clinical specific survival prediction of spinal ependymoma: a genetic and population-based study

Through bioinformatics analysis of microarray datasets, we identified <i>CELF4</i> as a central gene associated with immune infiltration among DEGs. Previous studies have demonstrated that <i>CELF4</i> may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of SP-EP. Furthermore, this study developed and validated a prognostic prediction model in the form of a nomogram utilizing the SEER database, enabling clinicians to accurately assess treatment risks and benefits, thereby enhancing personalized therapeutic strategies and prognosis predictions.
