Similar to BCSS, triple-negative cancers showed a trend for cases with higher number of nests to present with higher risk of distant metastasis (HR per 1 SD increase 1.45, 95% CI 0.98 to 2.15; p = 0.06; Fig. 4b ).

Our data indicate that this is the most highly significant tumour microarchitectural predictor of survival, consistent with the previously proposed role of the tumour-stroma interface in the pathogenesis of breast cancer metastasis, and its promise as a therapeutic target [ 30 ].
