Clinical trials of anti-CCR4 antibody for solid cancers with or without other immune-modulating agents including immune checkpoint blockade therapy are currently underway. However, little is known about the roles of CCR4 + lymphocytes and their prognostic impact in lung cancer. We hypothesized that high CCR4 expression in the tumor microenvironment would be associated with a poor prognosis and would act as a biomarker in lung adenocarcinoma.
