In addition, there were two other phenotypes namely A-SMA+/Thy-1+(closer to tumor cells in classic ILC) and FAP+/S-100+ (closer to tumor cells in pleomorphic ILC), which showed a trend of significance ( Supplementary Table 4 and Figures 5A, B , 6A, B ).

The sentences
In the tumoral compartment, although a statistically significant difference in the density of CAFs was found only in A-SMA+S100+ CAFs (being higher in classic ILC), an “approaching significance” or a trend was seen with Thy-1+, Total FAP+, FAP+ only and FAP+S100+ CAFs being higher in pleomorphic subtype.
