Prognostic Value of the Tumor Immune Microenvironment for Early-stage, Non−Small Cell Lung Cancer

Conclusions: This study shows that the adjustment for clinical characteristics is key when evaluating tumor immune infiltration and its association with cancer outcomes. Adjustment for confounding factors modified the prognostic significance of specific immune cell populations in early-stage surgically resected NSCLC cases; clinical attributes may have high relevance on immune infiltration composition.
