Impact of genetic alterations on outcomes of patients with stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer: An analysis of the cancer genome atlas data

Background The prognostic factors for early‐stage nonsmall cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) are not well defined. This study aimed to investigate the effect of highly frequent mutations on the outcomes patients with early‐stage NSCLC, particularly those with surgically resected stage I disease. Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets for Lung Adenocarcinoma (LUAD), Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LUSC), and Pan‐Lung Cancer (PLC) were accessed...
