Abstract:Background: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a well-known multistep process of cancer cell invasion and metastasis, as well as treatment resistance. Our group has been reporting the predictive role of scores generated using Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) of Hallmark pathways in breast cancer. In this study, we hypothesized that EMT score high breast cancer is aggressive and is associated with poor clinical outcome. Material and Methods: The clinicopathological data and transcriptome data of breas… Show more
