STING1 and lung cancer: Intriguingly, by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) analyses, we found that the genes associated with favorable survival outcomes of lung cancer patients were enriched in LUAD patients with high STING expression [Normalized enrichment score (NES) = 1.914, P = 0.013, false discovery rate (FDR) q = 0.018, Fig. 3c and Supplementary Table S1].
