No correlation between tumor data and RQ values could be shown. For patients 3, 5, 11, 12, and 15, a downward deviation of the RQ values from the average RQ value is seen; in patients 6, 7, 16, 18, and 20, the RQ values deviate upwards from the average RQ.

ER = Estrogen receptor, PR = progesterone receptor, HER2 = human epidermal growth factor receptor, RQ = relative expression, CK = cytokeratin, n.d. = not detectable, inv. duct = invasive ductal, inv. lob = invasive lobular, neg. = negative, pos. = positive.
