Furthermore, we discerned five immunophenotypes with suggestive links that passed all sensitivity analyses (P<0.05) (Table 3; Supplementary Figures 9-12): CD25 on IgD- CD24- cells in SCLC (ORIVW =0.885; 95% CI: 0.798–0.983; PIVW =0.022), CD27 on IgD+ CD24+ cells in LUSC (ORIVW =1.054; 95% CI: 1.010–1.100; PIVW =0.015), CCR2 on monocyte cells in LUSC (ORIVW =0.941; 95% CI: 0.898–0.987; PIVW =0.012), CD123 on CD62L+ plasmacytoid dendritic cells (DCs) of LUSC (ORIVW =0.958; 95% CI: 0.924–0.992; PIVW =0.017), and CD123 on plasmacytoid DCs of LUSC (ORIVW =0.958; 95% CI: 0.924–0.992; PIVW =0.017). Here, CD27 is linked to small cell lung carcinoma.
