Relationship between tumor microenvironment and clinical features,
TME-related prognosis signature, and breast cancer subtypes. The stromal score and
immune score represent the infiltration levels of stromal cells and immune cells in
tumor tissue, respectively. The estimate score was the combination of stromal score and
immune score to represent the measurement of tuomr purity. A lower estimate score,
stromal score and immune score represent higher tumor purity and lower degree of
infiltration of stromal cells and immune cells in tumor tissue, respectively.
Subtype: The four subtypes of breast cancer, including Basal, Her2, LumA and LumB.
M: The clinical features of breast cancer represent distant metastases, including M0 and
M1.
N: The clinical features of breast cancer represent domain lymph node involvement,
including N0, N1, N2 and N3.
T: The clinical features of breast cancer represent the presence of the primary tumor,
including T1, T2, T3 and T4.
Stage: The clinical features of breast cancer represent a comprehensive tumor stage,
including Stage I, Stage II, Stage III and Stage IV.
ImmuneScoregroup: Breast cancer samples were divided into high and low groups based on
median immune scores.
StromalScoregroup: Breast cancer samples were divided into high and low groups based on
median stromal scores.
Riskscoregroup: Breast cancer samples were divided into high and low groups based on
median risk scores.
