Development and Validation of a Robust Immune-Related Prognostic Signature for Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An increasing number of reports have found that immune-related genes (IRGs) have a significant impact on the prognosis of a variety of cancers, but the prognostic value of IRGs in gastric cancer (GC) has not been fully elucidated.

Methods

Univariate Cox regression analysis was adopted for the identification of prognostic IRGs in three independent cohorts (GSE62254, n = 300; GSE15459, n = 191; and GSE26901, n = 109). After obtaining the intersecting prognostic genes, the three independent cohorts were merged into a training cohort (n = 600) to establish a prognostic model. The risk score was determined using multivariate Cox and LASSO regression analyses. Patients were classified into low-risk and high-risk groups according to the median
