The data reported in Figure 3 demonstrate that patients treated with tamoxifen (n=107), whose tumours had a high nuclear BAG-1 expression, showed an improved outcome in univariate Kaplan–Meier analysis for local recurrence (P=0.032), distant metastases (P=0.019) and breast cancer-specific death (P=0.038). Here, BAG1 is linked to breast cancer.
