Article Title: | Prognostic value of the immune microenvironment in lung adenocarcinoma |
Abstract: | We analyzed the immune microenvironment in the neoplastic and stromal components of Stage I lung adenocarcinoma lesions, finding that a high ratio of tumor-infiltrating FOXP3+ regulatory T cells to CD3+ lymphocytes, an elevated expression of the interleukin-7 receptor, as well as a reduced expression of the interleukin-12 receptor β2 all constitute independent factors of poor prognosis. © 2013 Landes Bioscience. |
