  1. N = number of cases. c. = cytoplasmic, n. = nuclear expression. NST = No Special Type. NPI = Nottingham Prognostic Index
  2. Analysis of ER+ patient specimens with respect to tumor grade, nuclear pleomorphism, NPI, LVI, histologic tumor type, Ki67 labeling index, and P27 demonstrated a statistically significant correlation across the four groups
  3. The bold font indicate that the clinical correlation is statistically significant < 0.05
