Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate amongst all malignancies worldwide, and is the second-highest incidence of cancer in women. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is responsible for approximately 80% of lung cancer cases. Recent studies indicate that cellular senescence may be a promising cancer biomarker. However, the regulation of cellular senescence and its underlying mechanisms in NSCLC are not yet fully understood. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of the genes linked to cellular senescence in NSCLC. We also describe the secretory phenotype associated with NSCLC and examine its immune profile and prognostic potential. Our findings offer novel insights into the development of effective NSCLC treatments.
Keywords: cellular senescence; non-small cell lung cancer.
