Characterization of histopathological factors in respective immune subtypes of LUAD, LUSQ, and background NAT tissues. Ly: lymphatic vessel invasion, v: vascular invasion, pl; pleural invasion, pm: pulmonary metastasis, pT: tumor size, N: lymph node metastasis, M: distant metastasis. In NATs, fibrosis and frequencies of lymphocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages were assessed. The percentage of each classification in immune subtype was plotted in LUAD (a) and LUSQ (b) with NAT. The number of patients is specified in each column.

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.
