Footnote: Basal-like phenotype was considered in the case of positive staining for cytokeratin 5/6 and/or EGFR (>10% of tumor cells stained in IHC); Molecular apocrine phenotype was defined in TNBC tumors that express both androgen receptor (AR) and Forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) biomarkers; TILs: tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes according to Salgado guidelines [40]; PD-L1: programmed cell death ligand 1; PD-1: programmed cell death 1; TC: tumor cells; SC: stromal cells. (1) Seven metaplastic, seven invasive papillary, seven medullary, six mixed invasive, two apocrine, one adenoid cystic, one neuroendocrine, one mucinous, one polymorphous carcinoma and one malignant myoepithelioma.
