Integrative analysis of breast cancer reveals prognostic haematopoietic activity and patient-specific immune response profiles

Tumour samples are heterogeneous and are comprised of multiple cell types in addition to cancer cells. Here, the authors devised a method to estimate the relative levels of haematopoietic cells in breast cancer samples and demonstrate that this correlates with prognosis.
