There are currently no effective biomarkers to select chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy for treating lung cancer patients. This study identified genetic networks containing major immune-checkpoint inhibitors CD27, PD1, and PDL1, and their associated prognostic genes and proliferation genes in lung cancer tumors. A co-expression network that was missing in tumor B cells was discovered that can promote lung cancer proliferation. A 5-gene and a 9-gene prognostic models were developed and validated in extensive cohorts to select patients at a high risk for developing metastasis. CRISPR-Cas9 and RNA interference screening data were used in the selection of proliferation genes. These genes were associated with chemoresponse and radio-therapy response in lung cancer cell lines and patient tumors. These immune-omics networks led to the discovery of repositioning drugs for improving lung cancer treatment.
