A Novel Immune-Prognosis Index Predicts the Benefit of Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients.

ABSTRACT: Background: Constructed an immune-prognosis index (IPI) and divided lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients into different subgroups according to IPI score, describe the molecular and immune characteristics of patients between different IPI subgroups, and explore their response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatment. Methods: Based on the transcriptome profile of LUAD patients in TCGA and immune gene sets from ImmPort and InnateDB, 15 hub immune genes were identified through correlation and Bayesian causal network analysis. Then, IPI was constructed with 5 immune genes by using COX regression analysis and verified with external datasets (GSE30219, GSE37745, GSE68465, GSE126044 and GSE135222). Finally, the characteristics and the response to ICB treatment of LUAD patients b
