  1. RFI: relapse-free interval; OS: overall survival; PFS: progression-free survival; IDC: invasive ductal carcinoma; ILC: invasive lobular carcinoma; CT: chemotherapy; RT: radiotherapy; HT: hormonal therapy; TT: target therapy; No.: number; SUVmax: the maximum standardized uptake value; NA: not applicable; NR: not reached.
  2. * Log-rank test.
  3. † The data of age and menstruation status were collected after diagnosis of relapse and informed consent obtained. These data were different from those at diagnosis of primary breast cancer.
