As expected, Kaplan–Meier survival analyses showed highly significant differences in DRFS across the groups predicted to have good or intermediate or poor prognosis (PAM50-RORS, PAM50-RORP, GHI, ROT76 and NKI70) or the groups predicted to have high or intermediate versus low expression of ER-regulated genes (SET and IE-IIE).

The sentences
In node-positive disease, univariate DRFS analyses revealed that most signatures were barely significant when evaluated as continuous variables ( supplemental Figure S6 and Table S4 , available at Annals of Oncology online).
When evaluated as group categories, low risk of relapse or high expression of ER-regulated gene groups showed either no statistical significance or borderline significance in terms of DRFS compared with the predicted poor prognostic or low expressers of ER-regulated gene groups.
When limited to the microarray dataset, the PAM50-RORS and PAM50-RORP were trending toward significance ( supplemental Table S5 , available at Annals of Oncology online) and both were significant when the Nielsen series was included for a total of 280 luminal A patients ( supplemental Table S5 , available at Annals of Oncology online and PAM50-RORP in Figure 3 B).
