I recently donated some money to breast cancer research. My grandmother, who died five years ago, survived breast cancer but I don't think anyone else in my family had it.

Declining exponential function estimates of LEGs for chronic diseases with low mortality rates and long time horizons are liable to significant bias, especially with limited age cohorts. Key words: life expectancy; survival; mortality; DEALE; Markov model; misestimation bias; misspecification bias. (...
To estimate life expectancy, we matched these women to women of similar age, region, and insurance, not diagnosed with breast cancer. We examined 5-year mortality of matched controls by illness burden (measured with the Charlson Comorbidity Index [CCI]) using Kaplan-Meier statistics. We examined...
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, accounting for about 270,000 cases a year. The average woman has about a 12% chance of developing breast cancer.
Pregnancy-related cancers are mostly breast cancers, and their incidence is likely to increase as a result of the modern trend of delaying childbearing. In particular, advanced maternal age increases breast cancer risk, and younger breast cancer patients
These data suggest that there may be age-related changes in the histology of breast cancer and, in some cases, less aggressive features in the elderly. However, as the life expectancy of women over the age of 70 may be many years, treatment should be based on histological prognostic ...
At any age, women previously diagnosed as having breast cancer who have remained free of recurrence experience somewhat greater gains in LE from prophylactic surgery than do women of the same age whose breast cancer is newly diagnosed. Both observations show that whether because of younger age or...
This guideline updates the American Cancer Society breast cancer screening recommendations for women at average risk for breast cancer.
Prognosis in older breast cancer survivors BC incidence dramatically increases with age and will rise with the expanding population of older adults and increasing life expectancy. As older adults make up a larger proportion of new BC diagnoses, it is important to understand the age-related disparitie...
