基于三阴性乳腺癌分子亚分类的管腔雄激素受体亚型与 TIL（肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞）分组

In our previous study, we developed a triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype classification that correlated with the TNBC molecular subclassification. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the predictor variables of this subtype classification on the whole slide and to validate the model's performance by using an external test set.

We explored the characteristics of this subtype classification and investigated genomic alterations, including genomic scar signature scores. First, TNBC was classified into the luminal androgen receptor (LAR) and non-luminal androgen receptor (non-LAR) subtypes based on the AR Allred score ( 6 and < 6, respectively). Then, the non-LAR subtype was further classified into the lymphocyte-predominant (LP), lymphocyte-intermediate (LI), and lymphocyte-depleted (LD) groups based on stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) (< 20%, > 20% but < 60%, and 60%, respectively).

This classification showed fair agreement with the molecular classification in the test set. The LAR subtype was characterized by a high rate of PIK3CA mutation, CD274 (encodes PD-L1) and PDCD1LG2 (encodes PD-L2) deletion, and a low homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) score. The non-LAR LD TIL group was characterized by a high frequency of NOTCH2 and MYC amplification and a high HRD score.
