Identification and Validation of an Immune and Ferroptosis-Combined Index for Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
Background: Non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is among the major health problems around the world. Reliable biomarkers for NSCLC are still needed in clinical practice. We aimed to develop a novel ferroptosis- and immune-based index for NSCLC.Methods: The training and testing datasets were obtained...
