Core Tip	In this study, CellChat was employed to infer cell-cell communication, thereby selecting highly active cell groups in immune-related pathways on single-cell RNA-sequencing data. Highly active immune cells were identified by intersecting these groups with B and T cells. Subsequently, significantly differentially expressed genes between highly active immune cells and the remaining cells were incorporated into the Lasso regression model. Ultimately, incorporating genes selected more than 5 times in 10 Lasso regression experiments into a multivariable Cox regression model, 3 genes (stathmin 1, cofilin 1, and C-C chemokine ligand 5) significantly associated with survival were identified to construct a gene signature.
