- * Analyses stratified for hormone receptor status, nodal status and RT on the axilla. The results for age, tumor size and grade are from the base model not including TIMP-1. TIMP-1 was added separately as a continuous variable and then as a dichotomized one. The coefficients for age, tumor size and grade were similar with TIMP-1 included.
