title: The peripheral immune response and lung cancer prognosis.
abstract: Attempts to refine and improve outcome predictions using tumor gene expression have been recently reported. We show that peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-associated gene signatures can predict outcome in non-small cell lung carcinoma patients independent of demographic data or TNM staging, and that this information may persist after tumor resection.
