Prognostic significance of IMMT expression in surgically ‐resected lung adenocarcinoma

ConclusionHere, we first demonstrated that high ‐IMMT expression is related to some clinicopathological parameters, and that its expression is an independent prognostic predictor of poorer survival in patients with lung adenocarcinoma; further studies are required to clarify the biological function of IMMT in lung adenocarcinoma. However, resul ts suggest that this protein could be a novel prognostic indicator and therapeutic target.
