Scoring methods for stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) as recommended by the International TILs Working Group were feasible in clinical practice. | |
Higher baseline sTILs in pre-NAC core needle biopsy were associated with higher pCR rate and better prognosis in HER2-positive breast cancers. | |
A 20% threshold for sTILs may be feasible to predict pCR to NAC and prognosis in HER2-positive breast cancers. |
