Abstract

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer globally. However, the practical relevance of the RNA expression‑based prediction of BC is not clearly understood and requires further study. Using gene expression data downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), a risk score staging classification was created using Cox's multiple regression and was used to predict the clinical outcomes of patients with BC. In total, 7 genes, including AC123595.1, leukocyte immunoglobulin‑like receptor B5, CD209 molecule, AL049749.1, lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1, transmembrane protein 190 and tubulin α 3D chain were identified in association with patient survival. The patients with lower risk scores had considerably improved survival rates than those with higher risk scores. Compared with other clinical factors, the risk score more accurately predicted the clinical outcome of patients with BC. In summary, 7 genes were identified using the Cox regression model, and subsequently used to develop a risk staging model for BC, which may be of use for the medical management of patients.
