Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lysyl oxidases (LOX/LOXL1-4) are crucial for cancer progression, yet their transcriptional regulation, potential therapeutic targeting, prognostic value and involvement in immune regulation remain poorly understood. This study comprehensively evaluates LOX/LOXL expression in cancer and highlights cancer types where targeting these enzymes and developing LOX/LOXL-based prognostic models could have significant clinical relevance.
