Consensus clustering of THCA TCGA cohorts. A CDF curve of the consistency score for different subtype numbers (k = 2–9). B The consensus score matrix for THCA samples when k = 2. A higher consensus score between two samples indicates that they are more likely to be assigned to the same cluster in different iterations. C Principal component analysis (PCA) plot of the TCGA cohort. D 2D t-SNE analysis of the TCGA cohort
