  1. ER, estrogen receptor; HBC, human breast cancer; HBC-n, HBC primary tumor n; HBCx-n, HBC xenograft tumor n; HER, human epidermal growth factor receptor; IDC, invasive ductal carcinoma; IHC, immunohistochemistry; ILC; invasive lobular carcinoma; PR, progesterone receptor; TN, triple-negative. List of xenografts used in the study according to the breast cancer subtype. Expression of HER2; ER and PR was determined by IHC. Pearson's correlation coefficients between pairs of patient tumors and xenografts were calculated between the clone status (Gain, Normal, Loss) of the same probe.
