Patient outcomes in immune subtypes. A and B, Kaplan–Meier EFS curves for subtypes of LUAD (A) and LUSQ (B). P values were calculated by multivariate Cox regression. C and D, Relationships of cell density (left) with �45 (right) for each immune cell type infiltrated in tumors to patient prognosis in LUAD (C) and LUSQ (D). Z-scores from Cox proportional hazards analysis are plotted; in the plots, red dots indicate P ≤ 0.05. E and F, Differences in histopathologic findings for immune subtypes of LUAD (E) and LUS (F). The P values determined using Fisher exact test w are plotted; in the plots, red circles indicate P ≤ 0.05 and filled red circles indicate Holm-adjusted P ≤ 0.2. G and H, Frequencies of each classification in immune subtypes in LUAD (G) and LUSQ (H). Numbers of patients are indicated in the bar segments.

History

ARTICLE ABSTRACT

The precise TIL profiling classified NSCLC into novel three immune subtypes that correlates with patient outcome, identifying subtype-specific molecular pathways and genomic alterations that should play important roles in constructing subtype-specific immune tumor microenvironments. These classifications of NSCLC based on TIL status are useful for developing personalized immune therapies for NSCLC.
