The interaction between NRGs and IRGs in breast cancer remains unclear. Thus, identifying prognostic genes associated with NETosis and inflammation in breast cancer may offer a novel approach to improving the outcome of breast cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Genes with statistically significant expression levels and correlations with IRGs and NRGs scores were selected as candidate genes, and the protein-protein interactions of the encoded proteins were explored.
