NB: RS = point estimate of 5-year relative survival; SE = standard error of RS; ER: estrogen receptor; PgR: progesterone receptor; a age standardized estimates were derived using the ICSS weights; cases without microscopic verification were excluded; the survival estimates were derived from 10 completed datasets using multiple imputation
