Prognostic Factors of Malignant Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma: A Combined SEER and TCGA Databases Review
Pheochromocytoma (PCC) and paraganglioma (PGL) are rare malignancies while pathogenesis is strongly influenced by genetics. The prognostic factors of these patients remain poorly defined. We aim to study the epidemiology and survival pattern by analyzing the combination of SEER and Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.
