ERBB2 and breast cancer: In this study, we used single-cell transcriptome technology (scRNA-seq) to investigate the molecular features of the TME of HER2 + IBC patients and performed a comprehensive and detailed comparison of the cellular components and molecular phenotypes of the TME between IBC patients and noninflammatory breast cancer (nIBC) patients to elucidate the cell types that are specifically enriched in the TME of IBC patients, as well as the molecular features that are responsible for the preferential remodelling of the cellular functional state in the TME.
