  1. ER estrogen receptor, PR progesterone receptor, HER2 human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. Four staging categories, I–IV, from the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) were examined; stage 0 patients were not included in this study. Low tumor grade denotes well-differentiated tumors, intermediate denotes moderately differentiated, and high grade denotes poorly differentiated tumors. Tumor size (cm) was classified into three categories: < 1.0 cm, 1.0–2.0 cm, and > 2.0 cm. Lymph node (LN) status was defined as the presence (positive) or no (negative) cancer cells in the axillary lymph nodes
