Adjusted costs are adjusted for the variables listed in Table 1. Each cost model was iteratively refined to remove covariables that did not statistically significantly contribute to the model. No patients were excluded from any calculation. All figures are reported in 2014 dollars. Brachy = brachytherapy; CI = confidence interval; Lump = lumpectomy; Mast = mastectomy; Recon = reconstruction; WBI = whole breast irradiation.
