Restricted to women undergoing surgery for breast cancer (BC) and their comparison women without BC diagnosis, Number (No.), incidence (Inc.), person years (pyrs), reference (Ref.), and radiotherapy (RT).
  2. aAdjusted for age, year of BC, educational level, chronic pulmonary disease (CPD), and CCI except CPD.
