Lung cancer (LC) is a leading cause of cancer-associated mortalities worldwide. Adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) account for ~70% of all cases of LC. Since AC and SCC are two distinct diseases, their corresponding prognostic genes associated with patient survival time are expected to be different. To date, only a few studies have distinguished patients with good prognosis from those with poor prognosis for each specific subtype. In the present study, the Cox filter model, a feature selection algorithm that identifies subtype-specific prognostic genes to incorporate pathway information and eliminate redundant genes, was adopted. By applying the proposed model to data on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), it was demonstrated that both redundant gene elimination and search space restriction can improve the predictive capacity and the model stability of resulting prognostic gene signatures. To conclude, a pre-filtering procedure that incorporates pathway information for screening likely irrelevant genes prior to complex downstream analysis is recommended. Furthermore, a feature selection algorithm that considers redundant gene elimination may be preferable to one without such a consideration.
