The discriminative potential of STING methylation in LUAD. (a, b) STING methylation status in all LUAD patients (a) and early-stage (Stage I/II) and advanced-stage (Stage III/IV) patients (b) was investigated in GSE139032. (c, d) ROC analysis of STING methylation in all patients (c) and early-stage patients (d) in GSE139032. Box-and-whisker plot (b) shows the median and 10–90th percentile of the STING methylation values. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
