In addition, an elevated number of these lymphocytes did not correlate with pathological complete response rate or clinicopathological features including lymph node metastasis.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The infiltration of LAG-3<sup>+</sup> lymphocytes ameliorates OS in TNBC and Her2-positive BC, implicating that it is a valuable prognostic biomarker, and applications of anti-LAG-3 antagonists may possibly be not a promising therapeutic strategy for human BC especially for TNBC. Here, ERBB2 is linked to breast cancer.
