Data are mean (95% uncertainty intervals) from 100 simulations of 100 000 women aged 30–49 years. MRR, ARR, and YLS are relative to policy E0. A=surgery only. B=A plus endocrine therapy for all ER-positive cases. C=B plus chemotherapy for all ER-negative cases. D=C plus chemotherapy for advanced ER-positive cases. ER=oestrogen-receptor. MRR=mortality rate ratio. ARR=absolute risk reduction (ie, number of lives =years of lite saved).
