  1. Age at diagnosis is used by categorization into ≤ 50, 51–60, and 61–70 years. Adjusted clinicopathological factors are year of diagnosis (2004–2005, 2006–2007, 2008–2009 in 2004–2009 dataset and 2010–2011, 2012–2013, and 2014–2015 in 2010–2015 dataset), race/ethnicity (White, Black, and other), history of cancer (no and yes), marital status (married and single/other), histologic type (ductal, lobular, and mixed ductal-lobular/other), tumor stage (T1b, T1c, and T2–3), grade (I, II, III, and missing), and ER/PR status (both ER/PR-positive and either ER/PR-positive). Treatment factors are type of surgery (breast-conservation surgery and mastectomy) and radiation therapy (no/unknown and yes)
