Prognostic significance of IMMT expression in surgically-resected lung adenocarcinoma.

Here, we first demonstrated that high-IMMT expression is related to some clinicopathological parameters, and that its expression is an independent prognostic predictor of poorer survival in patients with lung adenocarcinoma; further studies are required to clarify the biological function of IMMT in lung adenocarcinoma. However, results suggest that this protein could be a novel prognostic indicator and therapeutic target.
