ADC-values (× 10−3 mm2/s) at baseline per molecular subtype for two of the included studies, with two subtypes (HR-) in a and two subtypes (HR+) in b. Bufi et al. [17] distinguished triple negative, HER2-enriched, luminal, hybrid (: luminal and HER2+, HR+/HER2+) tumors. Liu et al. [16] distinguished luminal A (ER+ and/or PR+ incl. Ki67 < 14% or HER2−), luminal B (ER+ and/or PR+ incl. Ki67 ≥ 14% or HER2+), HER2-enriched and triple negative tumors. In this graph, the types from Liu et al. [16] of luminal A are appointed as HR+/HER2− and luminal B as HR+/HER2−. From Bufi et al. [17] the luminal group is appointed as HR+/HER2−. From Pereira et al. [18] three subtypes were reported
