Elevated POSTN expression predicts poor prognosis and is associated with radioresistance in cervical cancer patients treated with radical radiotherapy by Cui-qin Huang, Wen-tao Xiao, Xiang-rong Yao, Zhi-min Li, Jun-yan He

“…Drug sensitivity analysis suggested that high POSTN expression may be linked to resistance to multiple chemotherapeutic agents. Furthermore, weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) identified EMT as a top enriched pathway in patients with high POSTN expression, suggesting it may play a critical role in radiotherapy resistance. …”
