Assessment of tumor inflammatory infiltrate in breast tumors. a Boxplot representation of the relationships between adipose AIF1v1 expression and tumor stroma percentage (TSP), tumor cell percentage (TCP), total cells (p = 0.03, ANOVA), lymphocytes (p = 0.03, ANOVA) and plasma cells (p = 0.02, ANOVA). b Distribution of total lymphocytes in peri, inter and intratumoral areas. Individuals clustered in tertiles: first group (low) consisted of BC patients with the lowest AIF1v1 rates in breast adipose tissue, the second was intermediate (med) and the third, the highest (high)
