  1. Group 1 contained patients without trastuzuamb treatment, group 2 contained patients with trastuzuamb and low pre-NLR value, and group 3 contained patients with trastuzuamb and high pre-NLR value. Statistically significant factors are in bold font. NLR, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio; HR, hormone receptor; NC, neoadjuvant chemotherapy
