Comprehensive genomic and immunological characterization of Chinese non-small cell lung cancer patients

Abstract: Deep understanding of the genomic and immunological differences between Chinese and Western lung cancer patients is of great importance for target therapy selection and development for Chinese patients. Here we report an extensive molecular and immune profiling study of 245 Chinese patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte estimated using immune cell signatures is found to be significantly higher in adenocarcinoma (ADC, 72.5%) compared with squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC, 54.4%).

“…The most common variants detected in patients with AC were in EGFR and KRAS genes. The two most commonly detected variants were also seen in patients with SCC in a diverse frequency according to their ethnic origin [19]. In the present study, EGFR and MET variants were also observed in patients with SCC.…”

“…It has been reported that the genomic features of lung cancer were associated with in ammatory tumorin ltrating lymphocytes [18]. For example, the in ltrating B lymphocyte abundance was higher in the EGFR-mutated patients [19].…”

“…Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) accounts for approximately 25-30% of all cases of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with more than 70% patients diagnosed in advanced stage [1,2] and causes approximately 400,000 deaths per year worldwide [3]. Currently, surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are still its main treatment.…”
