Group 0 name Corresponds to the control (unexposed) group for case-control studies
BC patients with HER2
Group 1 name Corresponds to the case (exposed) group for case-control studies
BC patients with TNBC
Group 1 definition Diagnostic criteria applied to define the specific condition / phenotype represented in the case (exposed) group
Breast cancer (BC) patients were pathologically diagnosed with primary BC and underwent surgery for a total or partial mastectomy. Tumor tissue samples were obtained from the cores of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tumor tissues without any contamination of normal tissues.
Group 0 sample size Number of subjects in the control (unexposed) group
4
Group 1 sample size Number of subjects in the case (exposed) group
7
Antibiotics exclusion Number of days without antibiotics usage (if applicable) and other antibiotics-related criteria used to exclude participants (if any)
3 months
