Description

Shanshan Han and co-authors build a survival model for breast cancer that joins immune and inflammation signs, in a 2026 single-centre study of 503 surgically treated patients from 2020 to 2025. Recurrence risk varies widely, and standard clinical factors miss part of the immune picture.

Stromal immune cell levels in tissue and a blood-based inflammation index defined three immune types, from favourable to poor. During follow-up, 107 patients had a disease-free survival event in the cohort records. A random survival forest beat Cox and boosting models on accuracy across five years in their comparisons. Staining for CD8 and CD163 supported the grouping, and nodal stage carried the largest weight in the forest model.
