Lymphocyte activation gene 3 served as a potential prognostic and immunological biomarker across various cancer types: a clinical and pan‐cancer analysis

Abstract Objectives: Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG3), an inhibitory receptor in T‐cell activation, is a negative prognostic factor. However, its impact on tumours has yet to be comprehensively elucidated on a pan‐cancer scale. Thus, we aim to reveal its role at the pan‐cancer level. Methods: We performed IHC staining on a retrospective cohort of 370 patients. Then we assessed the prognostic effect of LAG3 using Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis. In pan‐cancer analysis, we constructed competing endogenous
