Furthermore, the results of gene set enrichment analysis showed that compared with the lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR wild type, the three pathways positive regulation of natural killer (NK) cell-mediated immune response to tumor cells, NK cell activation involved in immune response, and NK cell-mediated immune response to tumor cells related to natural killer cells in patients with EGFR mutation were down regulated, while the pathway the positive regulation of cytokine secretion involved in immune response was up-regulated in EGFR mutation patients. The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is neoplasm.
