    EGFR mutations significantly influence the tumor immune microenvironment in lung adenocarcinoma, affecting immune cell composition and activity.

  • 2

    Machine learning techniques, particularly non-negative matrix factorization, were used to analyze single-cell transcriptomes from 153 LUAD samples.

  • 3

    EGFR-mutant tumors showed an immunosuppressive profile with increased TIGIT+ regulatory T cells, while wild-type tumors had more cytotoxic immune cells.

  • 4

    Five distinct tumor immune microenvironment subtypes were identified, with EGFR-mutant profiles linked to poorer clinical outcomes.
