When we performed a Kaplan–Meier analysis including all the four groups (groups 1–3 and the HER2-positive group), group 2 (characterised by weak or negative ER and HER2 expression, and high OPN and low ALCAM expression) turned out to contain predominantly high-risk cases with highly significant differences in DFS ( P <0.001) and OAS ( P =0.001) compared with all the other groups ( Figure 2B and C , respectively).
