Prognosis impact of genes in key lipid metabolism pathways. a Genes in the four key altered lipid metabolism pathways which are associated with prognosis. Red represents high gene expression significantly reduces the patient’s overall survival time and blue represents low gene expression significantly reduces the patient’s overall survival time. b, (c) and (d) Kaplan-Meier survival curve for tumors stratified by high or low expression levels of (b) HMGCS2, (C) GPX2 and (d) CD36 (the high or low expression level groups were stratified by the median expression value). P-value indicates significance levels from the comparison of survival curves using the Log-rank test
