Age: age of diagnosis; TNM: classification according to TNM (T – size; N – lymph node status; M – presence of metastasis); LN: involvement of sentinel lymph nodes; grade: grades I, II and III according to SBR; molecular markers: ER – estrogen receptor; PR – progesterone receptor; p53 – protein TP53; and ERBB2 – protein ERBB2.
