Group/OutcomeTNBCHER2+
Association between TILs and distant recurrenceEach 10% increase in TILs was significantly associated with decreased distant recurrence (hazard ratio adjusted for clinicopathological factors: 0.77; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.61-0.98, P = 0.02)Each 10% increase in TILs was significantly associated with decreased distant recurrence in patients randomized to the trastuzumab arm (DDFS Pinteraction = 0.025)
Trastuzumab benefitNot reportedHigher levels of TILs were associated with increased trastuzumab benefit.
