Pearson correlation analyses between TIL and ANC. (A) A trend for very weak inverse correlation was observed between TIL levels and ANC in all patients (Pearson’s r = −0.057, P = 0.105). The P-values of tests for an interaction effect were significant in relation to ER status, Ki67 expression, and HG (B) In the ER-negative subgroup, Pearson’s r was −0.1786 (P = 0.0341) (C) In the subgroup with high Ki67, Pearson’s r was −0.1243 (P = 0.0389) (D) In the subgroup with histologic grade 3, Pearson’s r was −0.1780 (P = 0.0581).
