Combined analyses of both cohorts revealed an obvious trend of association between NS expression and the 2 more aggressive (ER-negative) breast cancer subtypes (HER-2 and TNBC) ( P = .09) (Table 3 ).
Combined analyses of both cohorts revealed an obvious trend of association between NS expression and the 2 more aggressive (ER-negative) breast cancer subtypes (HER-2 and TNBC) ( P = .09) (Table 3 ).
In addition, NS was also found to be more expressed in the more advanced stages III and IV (78.04%) compared to early stages I and II (61.05%) and in situ (stage 0) (66.67%) tumors of the entire cohort, however, this trend did not reach statistical significance (Table 3 ) (Fig. 2 A).
