Clinical outcome of 35 patients with BC (out of all 85 patients) and correlation with frequency of peripheral NK cells and cytokine production (16 healthy individuals enrolled as negative controls). Overall survival (A) in patients with TNF-α expression (MIF) by NK cells > the control group (solid green line) and < the control group (red dashed line). In this group of 35 patients, copies of EBV genomes were detected in PBMCs in 66%, and in tumor tissues in 17%.
