A Novel Immune-Related Gene Signature Predicts Prognosis of Lung Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common form of lung cancer, accounting for 30% of all cases and 40% of all non-small-cell lung cancer cases. Immune-related genes play a significant role in predicting the overall survival and monitoring the status of the cancer immune microenvironment. The present study was aimed at finding an immune-related gene signature for predicting LUAD patient outcomes.

Methods

First, we chose the TCGA-LUAD project in the TCGA database as the training cohort for model training. For model validating, we found the datasets of GSE72094 and GSE68465 in the GEO database and took them as the candidate cohorts. We obtained 1793 immune-related genes from the ImmPort database and put them into a univariate Cox proportional hazard model to init
