  1. TNBC, triple-negative breast cancer.
  2. Patients were classified as: luminal A (ER-positive and/or PgR-positive, HER2-negative, Ki67low); luminal B (ER-positive and/or PgR-positive, HER2-negative, Ki67high); luminal-HER2 (ER-positive and/or PgR-positive, HER2-positive); HER2-enriched (ER-negative, PgR-negative, HER2-positive); and TNBC (ER-negative, PgR-negative, HER2-negative).
