Inflammatory response signature score model for predicting immunotherapy response and pan-cancer prognosis

Abstract Background: Inflammatory responses influence the outcome of immunotherapy and tumorigenesis by modulating host immunity. However, systematic inflammatory response assessment models for predicting cancer immunotherapy (CIT) responses and survival across human cancers remain unexplored. Here, we investigated an inflammatory response score model to predict CIT responses and patient survival in a pan-cancer analysis. Methods: We retrieved 12 CIT response gene expression datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GSE78220, GSE19423, GSE100797, GSE126044, GSE35640, GSE67501, GSE115821 and GSE168204), Tumor Immune Dysfunction
