Completeness is defined as a pathology report including five clinically relevant tumour features (tumour histology, tumour grade, laterality, ER/PR and HER2) completely documented for a biopsy specimen or seven tumour features (tumour size, tumour histology, tumour grade, laterality, ER/PR, HER2 and lymph node involvement) completely documented for a surgical specimen. Incompleteness is defined as report missing one or more tumour features for the pre-specified sample typesSample size: Complete (N = 92), Incomplete (N = 909)
