Median PFS and OS is from any first therapy started after diagnosis. STK11 and KRAS co-altered patients 6/27 (22%) received immunotherapy; 18/27 (67%), cytotoxic and antiangiogenic therapy, 3/27 (11%), supportive care.

STK11 and KRAS co-altered lung cancers (16/27), 3/16(19%) received immunotherapy; 10/16(63%), cytotoxic therapy; and 3/16 (19%), supportive care.

Of the STK11-altered KRAS wild type cancers, 6/33 (18%) received immunotherapy; 21/33(64%), cytotoxic therapy; 6 /33 (18%) received other therapies.

Variables with p value <0.25 for association with PFS and OS were included in the multivariate analysis
