  1. Data are presented as number of patients (%) or mean (± SD). ER: estrogen receptor; TNBC: triple negative breast cancer; PR: progesterone receptor; HER2: human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2; EGFR: epidermal growth factor receptor 1; AR: androgen receptor; Ki67: a proliferation marker; p53: a tumor suppressor protein. *The p-value is calculated by ANOVA for age and chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test for other covariates, where appropriate. Numbers in ”bold” show significant differences.
