Biologically Aggressive Phenotype and Anti-cancer Immunity Counterbalance in Breast Cancer with High Mutation Rate
While cancer cells gain aggressiveness by mutations, abundant mutations release neoantigens, attracting anti-cancer immune cells. We hypothesized that in breast cancer (BC), where mutation is less common, tumors with high mutation rates demonstrate aggressive phenotypes and attract immune cells simu...

Zusammenfassung: | While cancer cells gain aggressiveness by mutations, abundant mutations release neoantigens, attracting anti-cancer immune cells. We hypothesized that in breast cancer (BC), where mutation is less common, tumors with high mutation rates demonstrate aggressive phenotypes and attract immune cells simultaneously. High mutation rates were defined as the top 10% of the mutation rate, utilizing TCGA and METABRIC transcriptomic data. Mutation rate did not impact survival although high mutation BCs were associated with aggressive clinical features, such as more frequent in ER-negative tumors (p |
