Patwa, Yamashita et al. utilize multiplexed imaging to demonstrate that profiling cell-to-cell interactions in the microenvironment can reveal predictors of recurrence and overall survival in triple-negative breast cancer, especially highlighting the relevance of immunoregulatory proteins. The authors also use multivariate analysis to provide additional prognostic information compared to clinical variables.
