Abstract:Purpose. To identify CD8+ T lymphocyte-related coexpressed genes that increase CD8+ T lymphocyte proportions in breast cancer and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms among relevant genes in the tumor microenvironment. Method. We obtained breast cancer expression matrix data and patient phenotype following information from TCGA–BRCA FPKM. Tumor purity, immune score, stromal score, and estimate score were calculated using the estimate package in R. The CD8+ T lymphocyte proportions in each breast carcinoma sa… Show more
