Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by significant differences in prognosis and therapy response. Numerous prognostic tools have been developed for breast cancer. Usually these tools are based on bulk RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) and ignore tumor heterogeneity. Consequently, the goal of this study was to construct a single-cell level tool for predicting the prognosis of BC patients. In this study, we constructed a stemness-risk gene score (SGS) model based on single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). Patients were divided into two groups based on the median SGS. Patients with a high SGS scores had a significantly worse prognosis than those with a low SGS, and these groups exhibited differences in several tumor characteristics, such as immune infiltration, gene mutations, and copy number variants. Our results indicate that the SGS is a reliable tool for predicting prognosis and response to immunotherapy in BC patients.

Early prediction of patient responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is essential for the precision treatment of early breast cancer (EBC). Therefore, this study aims to noninvasively and early predict pathological complete response (pCR). We used dynamic ultrasound (US) imaging changes acquired during NACT, along with clinicopathological features, to create a nomogram and construct a machine learning model.

A clinical study in anthracycline-refractory MpBC patients suggested that nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor NG-monomethyl-l-arginine (L-NMMA) may augment anti-tumor efficacy of taxane. We report that NOS blockade potentiated response of human MpBC cell lines and tumors to phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor alpelisib and taxane.
