Mathematical models may help clinicians in decision making (adjuvant therapies, CDK4/6i, genomic test's gray zones). CTS5 has the higher prognostic accuracy in predicting recurrence, while score predicting OS did not show substantial advances, proving that pN, G, and pT are still the most important variables in predicting OS.
