- Introduction : Lung cancer is the most frequent and the deadliest cancer in the world. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which represents 85% of all lung cancers, up to 55% patients relapse following surgery alone or in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes play a key role in the control of the malignancy and display different phenotypes whilst interacting with cancer cells. Hence, immunoglobulin-A (IgA)-producing cells have been described to have an immunosuppressive function, promoting tumor development and growth in hepatocarcinoma and prostate cancer. Due to the important role of IgA in the lung, we aimed to study the prognostic significance of IgA+ cell infiltration in the epithelial and stromal compartments of resected NSCLCs. [...]
