As shown in Figure 10 , the expression of immune checkpoints in the low-risk group showed an increasing trend, among which PD-L1 expression was significantly elevated in both cohorts (TCGA: P < .01; GSE39582 : P < .05), CTLA4 and TIGIT were significantly higher in TCGA cohort ( P < .05), and LAG3 was significantly higher in GSE39582 cohort ( P < .05).
