Abstract

BACKGROUND: Prognostic tools for determining patients with indolent breast cancers (BCs) are far from optimal, leading to extensive overtreatment. Several studies have demonstrated mRNAs, lncRNAs and miRNAs to have prognostic potential in BC. Because mRNAs, lncRNAs, and miRNAs capture distinct transcriptomic information, we hypothesized that combining them would improve classification performance.
