An immune-related prognostic signature for predicting breast cancer recurrence.

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among women worldwide and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Increasing evidence has validated the vital role of the immune system in BC development and recurrence. In this study, we identified an immune-related prognostic signature of BRCA that could help delineate risk scores of poor outcome for each patient. This prognostic signature comprised information on five danger genes-TSLP, BIRC5, S100B, MDK, and S100P-and three protect genes RARRES3, BLNK, and ACO1. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that patients classified as low-risk according to optimum cut-off risk score had better prognosis than those identified within the high-risk group. ROC analysis indicated that the identified prognostic signature had excellent
