Note:
Age represents the age of the donor at the time of surgery. The histological type of the tissue was invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Oestrogen and progesterone receptor status is indicated as ‘positive/negative’ with the corresponding percentage of positive cells. HER-2 positivity in the tissues was determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
