Cervical cancer is one of the most prevalent reproductive system tumours in females, with rates of occurrence and mortality being particularly high in developing countriesProposed on March 17, 2022, cuproptosis is a unique, copper-dependent modality of regulated cell death with a distinct molecular mechanism and signal transduction pathwaysLong noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is a form of RNA with a length greater than 200 nucleotides. It has no capability to code for proteins yet affects a variety of biological processes in cellsSince serum copper levels are elevated in patients with cervical cancer, altered copper levels are crucial for the development of cancerFor our research, we extracted several cuproptosis-related lncRNAs and then built a signature to predict the outcome of CC patients and proceeded to internal validation and external validation. The results of a series of analyses indicate that this signature can predict prognosis, PFS, level of immune cell infiltration and response to ICI therapy in patients with CC.
