  1. The data are presented in the 2 × 2 collapsed table, ignoring the strata representing different PDX lines. P = 0.0047; Fisher’s Exact test and P = 0.0364; Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test, adjusting for PDX line.
  2. BC, breast cancer; BM-DTC, disseminated tumor cells in bone marrow; CTC, circulating tumor cell; PDX, patient-derived xenograft.
