Name Time Method Evaluation of prognostic value of each biomarker (exploratory outcome of protein expression, mRNA levels, gene amplification and mutation of key cellular elements e.g. HER2 protein and mRNA expression and gene amplification) with disease-free survival (DFS). DFS was defined as the interval from study entry to first locoregional recurrence, first distant metastasis, contralateral breast cancer, secondary neoplasm, death from the disease or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.[3, 5 and 10 years post enrolment ];Evaluation of prognostic value of each biomarker (exploratory outcome of protein expression, mRNA levels, gene amplification and mutation of key cellular elements e.g. HER2 protein and mRNA expression and gene amplification) with overall survival (OS). OS was measured from study entry until death from any cause.[3, 5 and 10 years post enrolment ]
