Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors with high incidence and mortality rates. Most patients with GC are not diagnosed until the advanced stage of cancer or during tumor screening, resulting in missing the best treatment time. This study identified key modules and hub genes associated with GC by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The "limma" package in R was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in GC samples from TCGA, and a
