Patients may be counted in more than one type of breast cancer recurrence category. Similarly, within breast cancer recurrence categories, patients may be counted under multiple sites/locations. CNS, central nervous system; ddAC, dose-dense doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide; DPH, docetaxel, pertuzumab, and trastuzumab; FEC, fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide; TPH, paclitaxel, pertuzumab, and trastuzumab.
