Construction and validation of an immunity-related prognostic signature for breast cancer

Breast cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies among women, and understanding the effects of host immunity on disease progression offers the potential to improve immunotherapies against it. Here, we constructed an immunity-related gene (IRG)-based prognostic signature to stratify breast cancer patients and predict their survival. We identified differentially-expressed genes by analyzing the breast cancer transcriptome data from The Cancer...
