Mural β3-integrin signposts Stroma6, a gene signature predicting early relapse in low-risk and chemoresistant breast cancer

The Oncotype DX (ODX) assay guides adjuvant chemotherapy in ER+/HER2- breast cancer but overlooks drivers from the tumour stroma, leaving some low-risk and chemotherapy-spared patients vulnerable to rapid relapse. Here, we show that perivascular mural {beta}3-integrin protein expression predicts early (3-year) relapse in ODX low-risk patients (HR = 15.80, P = 0.010), from which we derived a…
