Table 2.
Amplicon Class | Clinical outcome and number of patients (Total N = 33) | |
NED or DNED | AWD or DOD | |
Class I | 6 (4) | 2 (0) |
Class II | 6 (5) | 1 (0) |
Class III | 9 (9) | 0 |
Class IV | 3 (1) | 6 (4) |
NED: alive with no evidence of disease. DNED: died with no evidence of disease at least 24 months after diagnosis. AWD: Alive with breast cancer. DOD: died of breast cancer. NED and DNED were categorized as favorable outcome, and DOD and AWD as unfavorable for this analysis. Numbers in parentheses refer to the number of patients who received anthracycline-based therapy. The association between Amplicon class and clinical outcome is strongly significant, permutation based exact p-value = 0.007 from a chi-square test.
