ERBB2 and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes: High TLR4 expression was associated with lymph node metastasis (OR=2.077, 95%CI=1.160-3.717, P= 0.014), tumor size (≥2 cm) (OR=2.194, 95%CI= 1.398-3.445, P= 0.001), PR expression (OR = 0.700, 95% CI = 0.505–0.971, P= 0.033), and clinical stage (OR = 3.578, 95%CI= 3.578-5.817, P<0.05), but not with histological grade (95%CI= 0.976-1.735, P= 0.072), ER expression (OR = 1.125, 95% CI = 0.492–2.571,P= 0.781), and HER-2 status (OR = 1.241, 95% CI = 0.733–2.101, P = 0.422).
