Abstract
BACKGROUND: Chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 5 (CCT5), a vital component of the molecular chaperonin complex, has been implicated in tumorigenesis, cancer stemness maintenance, and therapeutic resistance. Nevertheless, its comprehensive roles in pan-cancer progression, underlying biological functions, and potential as a predictor of immunotherapy response remains poorly understood.
