Background: Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) has been a highly malignant tumor with very poor prognosis. It is confirmed that pyroptosis refers to the deaths of cells in a programmed and inflammatory manner. Nevertheless, the correlation between expression of genes related with pyroptosis and their prognosis remains uncertain in LUSC. Methods: Utilization of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort has been done for evaluating the prognostics of pyroptosis-related genes for survival and constructing a signature with multiple genes. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression was performed for establishing such pyroptosis-related gene signature. Results: Eventually, identification of 28 genes in relation to pyroptosis was made in LUSC and healthy lung tissues. Upon the basis of these differentially-expressed genes (DEGs), the patients of LUSC can be divided into two subtypes. Nine gene signatures were established using LASSO. The surviving rate for low-risk group was apparently greater in contrast with the high-risk group (p
