Table 2. Characterization of patients within the cohort who developed subsequent distant metastatic disease or had local lymph node involvement at the time of surgery.
| Patient | Metastatic event | Age, years | Lesion growth pattern | Time to metastatic event (days) | Time to positive sentinel node (days) | Lesion laterality | Size (cm) | Extent (cm) | Lumpectomy first | ER/PR/HER2 | Mastectomy laterality | Grade | Microinvasion | Endocrine therapy | Genetic testing | Genetic Mutations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Distant | 40–44 | Diffuse | 2,911 | N/A | Unilateral | Missing | 7 | Yes | ER+PR+HER2− | Unilateral | Low-intermediate | No | No | Yes | No |
| #2 | Distant | 45–49 | Diffuse | 2,311 | N/A | Bilateral | Missing | 11† | No | ER+PR+ | Bilateral | Intermediate | No | No | Yes | No |
| #3 | Distant | 40–44 | Missing | 633 | N/A | Unilateral | 8†† | 8†† | No | ER−PR− | Bilateral | High | No | No | Yes | No‡ |
| #4 | Distant | 50–54 | Diffuse | 344 | N/A | Unilateral | 1.4 | 8 | No | ER−PR−HER2− | Unilateral | High | Yes | No | No | N/A |

| #6 | SLNB | 50–54 | Diffuse | N/A | 117 | Unilateral | 2 | 8 | Yes | ER+PR+HER2+ | Unilateral | High | No | No | Yes | No |
| #7 | SLNB | 40–44 | Multifocal | N/A | 78 | Unilateral | 0.9 | Missing | Yes | Missing | Unilateral | Intermediate-high | No | Yes | No | N/A |
| #8 | SLNB | 65–69 | Multifocal | N/A | 76 | Bilateral | 0.4 | Missing | Yes | Missing | Mastectomy one side, lumpectomy other | Low | No | No | No | N/A |
| #9 | SLNB | 50–54 | Missing | N/A | 21 | Unilateral | 2.5† | 2.5† | No | ER+PR+ | Unilateral | Intermediate-high | Yes | Yes | No | N/A |
†, in addition to the ductal carcinoma in situ, this patient had extensive bilateral lobular carcinoma in situ. This patient was also the only patient among the metastatic cohort who was able to be classified by imaging findings and not by pathology report. ††, size was listed in pathology report but it was not designated whether this represented the largest focus of disease or if these was multifocal or diffuse disease and size was referring to spread. ‡, no identifiable mutation, but one variant of undetermined significance in MSH2. SLNB, sentinel lymph node biopsy.
