A prognostic survival model for women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in Queensland, Australia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Prognostic models can help inform patients on the future course of their cancer and assist the decision making of clinicians and patients in respect to management and treatment of the cancer.
