Analyses of CD163⁺ macrophages in metastatic tumours in ALNs in women with LLABCs and subsequent PCR following NAC.

	Groups	Pre-NAC
	Groups	Low infiltration (n)	High infiltration (n)	Pearson chi-square value (PCR versus non-PCR)	p value
CD163⁺ macrophages (n = 20)	Pathological complete response (PCR, n = 9)	0	9	8.811	0.003^∗
CD163⁺ macrophages (n = 20)	Nonpathological complete response (non-PCR, n = 11)	7	4	8.811	0.003^∗

ALNs: axillary lymph nodes; LLABCs: large and locally advanced breast cancers; NAC: neoadjuvant chemotherapy; ^∗statistically significant.
