For those High Risk patients with four or more positive lymph nodes (High Risk 5), the best survival was seen in the ER+/PR+/HER2+ subtype and the worst survival in the ER-/PR-/HER2- subtype (p < 0.001).
For the High Risk group, 6,149 (43%) had 1 to 3 positive axillary lymph nodes (High Risk 4) and 8,191 (57%) had four or more positive lymph nodes (High Risk 5).
The High Risk category is clearly separated from the Low and Intermediate Risk categories, and those with four or more positive lymph nodes (High Risk 5) have worse survival than those with 1 to 3 positive lymph nodes (High Risk 4) (p < 0.001).
Although Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and India are also subject to this risk, their relatively more positive external financing positions will mitigate any downside impact on their currencies," the report's authors said, noting that in Latin America, Brazil could be affected the most by lower investment from the UK.
