High expression of LDHA is associated with worse survival in NSCLC. Using Kaplan–Meier plotter database online including 1928 NSCLC patients (http://kmplot.com), the association between LDHA expression and lung cancer prognosis is explored, clinical characteristics of the datasets included in the analysis were showed in the Table 1 of the original article [19]. a Overall survival (OS); b Progression Free survival (PFS); c PFS in NSCLC patients received radiotherapy; d Forest plots displaying multivariate Cox analysis of OS in NSCLC patients. The control groups were patients with the characteristics of grade 1, stage T1, stage N0, female, no smoking, and low LDHA expression, respectively
