Footnote: OS: overall survival; RFS: relapse-free survival; HR: hazard ratio; CI: confidence interval; 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; PD-L1: programmed cell death ligand 1; PD-1: programmed cell death 1; TC: tumor cells; SC: stromal cells.
