Stratification of patients based on autoantibody immune response and TPS. Patients were stratified by integrating SR/HSR immune monitoring levels and ICI efficacy prediction based on the TPS. (A) Swimmer plots illustrating events during the observation period for Group 1 (high immune induction: SR/HSR or TPS ≥ 50%) and Group 2 (low immune induction: w/o-SRs and TPS < 50%). (B) Kaplan‒Meier plots displaying PFS for Group 1 and Group 2 patients. The P value was derived from the log-rank test. SR spark response; HSR hyper-spark response, TPS tumor proportion score, CRT chemoradiotherapy, PFS progression-free survival, CI confidence interval.
