"Many people don't know the number one cause o...

Life expectancy estimation with breast cancer: bias of the declining exponential function and an alternative to its use (see comments) BACKGROUND: Life expectancy gain (LEG) is an outcome measure commonly estimated with a declining exponential function in a Markov model. The accuracy of su... ...
400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer and 500 die. Early diagnosis is key to survival. Today someone diagnosed with breast cancer that has not spread to any other body part has a 99% chance of living for at least five more years. That compares with 29% for breast cancer that has ...
Life Expectancy Gains From Secondary Cancer-Prevention Strategies for BRCA1- and BRCA2-Positive Women With Early-Stage Breast Cancer* Impact of Variation in Base-Case Probabilities on Life Expectancy Gains for 30-Year-Old Women With Moderate-Penetrance BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutations and Node-Negative ...
Women with BRCA1- or BRCA2-associated breast cancer are at increased risk for contralateral breast cancer and ovarian cancer and therefore may consider secondary cancer prevention strategies, such as prophylactic surgery and tamoxifen therapy. It is not proven to what extent these strategies reduce ri...
