Baseline QoL is linked to clinical endpoints across four randomized clinical trials, with discovery driven by consensus clustering to derive quality-of-life subtypes and validation performed in external cohorts. One subtype shows significantly poorer overall and progression-free survival and reduced clinical benefit, while the other subtype supports atezolizumab efficacy versus chemotherapy.","TYPE Original Research PUBLISHED 18 July 2025  \nDOI 10.3389/fimmu.2025.1600265  \nOPEN ACCESS  \nEDITED BY  \nZodwa Dlamini,  \nPan African Cancer Research Institute (PACRI), South Africa  \nREVIEWED BY  \nPalash Mandal,  \nCharotar University of Science and Technology, India  \nMansoor-Ali Vaali-Mohammed, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia Yunpeng Hua,  \nThe First Afﬁliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, China  \nDia Roy,  \nCleveland Clinic, United States  \n*CORRESPONDENCE  \nJunliang Ma  \n [majunliang2021@sina.com](majunliang2021@sina.com)[ ](majunliang2021@sina.com)Hu Ma  \n [mahuab@163.com](mahuab@163.com)[ ](mahuab@163.com)Jian-Guo Zhou  \n[jianguo.zhou@zmu.edu.cn](jianguo.zhou@zmu.edu.cn)  \n†These authors have contributed equally to this work  \nRECEIVED 23 April 2025  \nACCEPTED 26 June 2025  \nPUBLISHED 18 July 2025  \nCITATION  \nShen J, Ma J, Chen S, Jin S-H, Xu J, Li Q, Zhang C, Tian X, Chen X, Tan F, Hecht M, Frey B, Gaipl US, Ma H and Zhou J-G (2025)  \nQuality-of-life scale machine learning approach to predict immunotherapy response in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.  \nFront.
