Mortality after breast cancer as a function of time since diagnosis by estrogen receptor status and age at diagnosis

摘要

Our aim was to estimate how long-term mortality following breast cancer diagnosis depends on age at diagnosis, tumor estrogen receptor (ER) status, and the time already survived. We used the population-based Australian Breast Cancer Family Study which followed-up 1,196 women enrolled during 1992-1999 when aged 7 years, those with ER-negative disease will on average live longer, and more so if younger at diagnosis.
