Construction and validation of a novel immune and tumor mutation burden-based prognostic model in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the most common type of cancer, is hard to diagnose and has an unfavorable prognosis. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) is a useful predictor and can also determine the efficacy of immunotherapy in various cancers. The present study focused on unraveling the association between immune infiltration and TMB and developing an immune- and TMB-related prognostic model to predict LUAD patients' prognosis. The results revealed that the immune-related prognostic model (IPM) based on TMB was capable of classifying LUAD patients in all cohorts into different risk groups. The IPM was useful and had a significant correlation with LUAD patients' overall survival (OS). Based on the multivariate Cox analysis results, the IPM was proved to be an independent predictive biomarker. Furt
