*Cox proportional hazard ratio (HR) adjusted by terms of: age (≤ 40, 41–60, > 60), center (IRCCS G. Pascale, Policlinico Federico II), cancer stage (I–IIA, IIB, IIIA–IIIC) and molecular subtypes (Luminal A, Luminal B, HER 2+, TN); **For the entire variable the p-value refers to Wald Test, for numerical variable z-Test p-value was reported.

Significant results are shown in bold.
