CDT: clinical decision tree; MDT: multidisciplinary team; DCIS: ductal carcinoma in situ; ER-status: estrogen receptor status; HER2-status: human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 Status; EAU: European Association of Urology; ESTRO: European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology; PSA: prostate-specific antigen.

N.B. In single cases, >1 data-item can be missing.

NA: not applicable.

a

Aggregated score contains age, HER2 status, ER-status, grade, tumor diameter.

b

Aggregated score contains age, palpability, MRI coloring, grade, tumor diameter.

c

The patients’ age in all five cases was ≥60 years and was therefore in our analyses considered as post-menopausal.

d

Aggregated score (prediction model) contains PSA, cT, Gleason variant 1, Gleason variant 2, Positives cores.

e

Aggregated score contains cN, cT, Gleason, iPSA.

f

CDT complexity scores method are displayed in Figure 3.

g

Multiple CDTs are applicable to each unique case.

h

These CDTs were filled in completely in all applicable cases and therefore had no missing data-items.
