Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF) are known to orchestrate multiple components of the tumor microenvironment, whereas the influence of the whole stromal-fibroblast compartment is less understood. Here, an extended stromal fibroblast signature was investigated to define its impact on immune cell infiltration. The lung cancer adenocarcinoma (LUAD) data set of the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) was used to test whole stroma signatures and cancer-associated fibroblast signatures for their impact …
