Neutrophils correlate with hypoxia microenvironment and promote progression of non-small-cell lung cancer

Hypoxia, a strong and selective pressure, has been involved in invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis of tumor cells. Our study performed the transcriptome profiles of 666 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Various bioinformatic approaches were combined to evaluate the immune cell infiltra...
