NOTE: Significant correlations (P < 0.05) are highlighted in bold. TuM1 is positively correlated with small tumor size (≤3), low grade, ER+, progesterone receptor positive, and lymphovascular invasion negative.
Abbreviations: LN, lymph node; PR, progesterone receptor; LVI, lymphovascular invasion.
Grade is used as a continuous variable (also see Supplementary Information S7).
The variable inside the parentheses indicates the direction of correlation with the TuMs.
