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.
Life expectancy gain (LEG) is an outcome measure commonly estimated with a declining exponential function in a Markov model. The accuracy of such estimates has not been objectively evaluated. Purpose. To compare LEGs from declining exponential function estimates with those calculated from population ...

Former cancer patients who have not experienced any relapses of the illness and have a normal life expectancy are more likely to get a policy faster. This is a signal that all of the cancer cells have died, and the problems are not likely to return. ...
Many women aged ≥80 with limited life expectancies receive radiotherapy after BCS for treatment of early stage breast cancers while many in excellent health do not. More consideration needs to be given to patient life expectancy when considering breast cancer treatments. 展开 关键词: Breast cancer ...

These include the modern crop of androgen receptor-targeting drugs, like abiraterone and enzalutamide, that have dramatically extended life expectancy for men with advanced prostate cancer. Funding from the SPORE also allowed scientists to amass a deep and diverse archive of prostate tumor tissue sample...
