  1. *FGFR amplification was determined in the H12O series by FISH in a tissue microarray. Conversely, in the METABRIC series, it was determined by CGH arrays. FISH data were not available in 56 cases; thus, positive/negative cases are shown in relative percentage to the available cases
  2. **In the METABRIC database, primary tumor is coded by size in millimeters. What qualifies a primary tumor as T4 is the invasion of the chest wall and/or skin and/or presence of inflammatory carcinoma, regardless of the tumor size in millimeters. Thus, the number of T4 tumors in this series is actually unknown, although the percentage of T4 tumors in routine clinics is generally low
