Table 5 Spearman rank correlation of change in ESR1 expression/pre-selected gene signature scores and percentage of 2-week change in Ki67/residual Ki67 level in (i) HER2− tumours, (ii) HER2+ tumours, and (iii) significance of the difference between the two correlation coefficients (HER2− vs HER2+).

From: Impact of aromatase inhibitor treatment on global gene expression and its association with antiproliferative response in ER+ breast cancer in postmenopausal patients
