Comparison of tumor microenvironment scores and gene expression profiles in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) of different sexes. A Box-plot comparing the levels of estimate score, immune score, and stromal score of female patients with male patients. B Heatmaps of differentially expressed genes (GEGs) between high- and low-estimate, immune and stromal scores in LUAD. Red represented high expression, and blue represented low expression. C Venn diagram analysis of DEGs in female and male patients
