Aging-related transcriptomic signatures associated with recurrence following resection of stage I lung adenocarcinoma
Abstract Age is an independent prognostic factor in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, yet age-associated molecular differences and their association with cancer recurrence remain poorly understood. We investigated transcriptomic differences associated with aging and recurrence in stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Bulk RNA sequencing was performed on tumor and adjacent normal lung tissue (NAT) from 126 patients with resected stage I LUAD. Differential expression, pathway enrichment, and multiscale embedded g …
