Table 3 Multivariate Cox analysis

From: Presence of circulating Her2-reactive CD8 + T-cells is associated with lower frequencies of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells, and better survival in older breast cancer patients

  1. 1Data for a few patients are missing. Multivariate Cox analysis was performed, where CD8 response to Her2, metastasis and radiotherapy is considered (Model 1), which shows that having no CD8+ T cell response to Her2 has an independent impact on survival (P = 0.014) along with patients who did not receive radiotherapy (P = 0.001) on five-year survival, whereas, in Model 2 no association was observed for no CD8+ T cell responders to Her2 and metastasis. CI, confidence interval; Her2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2.
