BackgroundTumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) display context-dependent functional polarization, but whether their prognostic impact is consistent across tumor types remains unclear. MethodsWe analyzed RNA-sequencing and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD; n=648), lung squamous carcinoma (LUSC; n=623), and melanoma (SKCM; n=466). Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age and AJCC stage evaluated per-standard deviation (SD) expression of TAM marker...
