This paracrine mechanism could create a permissive microenvironment for tumor progression, linking PAX7 overexpression to immune evasion.​ Cox regression analysis showed that PAX7 expression was an independent predictor of OS in breast cancer patients (HR = 1.459, 95% CI [1.027–2.072], p = 0.035). The gene discussed is PAX7; the disease is neoplasm.
