Importantly, the Kaplan–Meier Plotter analysis revealed that lung adenocarcinoma patients (n = 1104) with low SOCS2 expression levels had worse overall survival (Fig. 1e, p < 0.001), whereas the survival curve of patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (n = 444) is unrelated to the expression of SOCS2 (Supplementary Figure S1b). The gene discussed is SOCS2; the disease is squamous cell lung carcinoma.
