1.Identified 103 genes enriched in NSCLC radiotherapy resistance pathways. Using machine learning, pinpointed four key genes (TGFBI, FAS, PTK6, FA2H), with TGFBI highly correlated with prognosis.2.Found significant immune cell infiltration differences between high-and low-risk NSCLC patients, hinting at new therapeutic strategies involving macrophage polarization and B cell activation.3.Developed a prognostic model with high diagnostic accuracy based on identified genes, advancing understanding of radiotherapy resistance mechanisms and potentially improving patient outcomes.
