The biomarkers related to immune infiltration to predict distant metastasis in breast cancer patients.

ABSTRACT: Background: The development of distant metastasis (DM) results in poor prognosis of breast cancer (BC) patients, however, it is difficult to predict the risk of distant metastasis. Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened out using GSE184717 and GSE183947. GSE20685 were randomly assigned to the training and the internal validation cohort. A signature was developed according to the results of univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, which was validated by using internal and external (GSE6532) validation cohort. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used for functional analysis. Finally, a nomogram was constructed and calibration curves and concordance index (C-index) were compiled to determine predictive and discriminatory capacity. The clinic
