DFI disease-free interval (time in months)

1Patients with de novo metastatic disease not included. 2Other reasons for not being sequenced aside from sequencing failure include: sample not received or insufficient DNA quantity for sequencing. 3Percentage calculated from number of sequenced patients. Numbers shown are reflective of the overall total and then the total within each subtype. The HER2+ subtype does not include patients with ERBB2 amplification (100%, n = 25)
