Cancer cells must alter their metabolism to support proliferation. Immune evasion also plays a role in supporting tumour progression. This study aimed to find whether enhanced glutamine uptake in breast cancer (BC) can derive the existence of specific immune cell subtypes, including the subsequent impact on patient outcome. SLC1A5, SLC7A5, SLC3A2 and immune cell markers CD3, CD8, FOXP3, CD20 and…
