From what I read, there are dozens of calculators. I'm guessing that one would have to ask one's oncologist which s/he uses, yes? In addition, wouldn't such factors as type of breast cancer and its hormone receptor and HER-2 statuses need to be included in determining recurrence risks?

It was used by my oncologist. I also input the information from my pathology report as I wanted to verify the information. Because I have both infiltrating ductal carcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma, I opted to go ahead with the aromatase inhibitor. This calculator is used for ER/PR positive tumors. Here is an article that may explain further: https://www.breastcancer.org/research-news/online-tool-predicts-hr-pos-recurrence-risk
