Identification of prognostic biomarkers for major subtypes of non-small-cell lung cancer using genomic and clinical data.

This study advocates that investigating the survival-specific biomarkers restricted to respective cohorts can advance subtype-specific prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment for NSCLC patients. Prognostic models and markers described for each subtype may provide insight into the heterogeneity of disease etiology and help in the development of new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of NSCLC patients.
