An Immune-Related Gene Prognostic Index for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Integrates Multiple Aspects of Tumor-Immune Microenvironment

Tumor-immune cell compositions and immune checkpoints comprehensively affect TNBC outcomes. With the significantly improved survival rate of TNBC patients treated with ICI therapies, a biomarker integrating multiple aspects of TIME may have prognostic value for improving the efficacy of ICI therapy....
