A ferroptosis-associated gene signature for the prediction of prognosis and therapeutic response in luminal-type breast carcinoma

Abstract Ferroptosis is a new form of regulated cell death (RCD), and its emergence has provided a new approach to the progression and drug resistance of breast cancer (BRCA). However, there is still a great gap in the study of ferroptosis-related genes in BRCA, especially luminal-type BRCA patients...
