Correction to: Breast Cancer Research and Treatment https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-019-05250-8

In the original publication of the article, under the Methods section, second paragraph, the sentence that reads as “We excluded 3047 patients … surgical treatment (see Fig. 1)” should read as “We excluded 3047 patients who did not identify as black or white, 5395 who were not initially diagnosed with stage 0–III cancer or were missing stage or residence data, 2573 patients who passed away within 18 months of diagnosis, and 4716 patients who did not undergo primary surgical treatment (see Fig. 1)”.

Figure 1 was published incorrectly in the original version. The corrected Fig. 1 is given below.
