Evaluation of Factors Related to Short-Term and Long-Term Distant Metastatic Free survival in Patients with Early-stage of Breast Cancer by Semiparametric Mixture Cure Model

In analyzing time-to-event data, it is frequent that a proportion of individuals will never experience the event of interest. Using the cured models instead of standard ones for survival analysis will result in accurate estimates for predicting survival time. This study aimed to estimate the effect of potential risk factors on long-term and short-term survival of breast cancer patients.
