Adjuvant therapy has improved the survival of women with early breast cancer (BC). Meta-analyses suggest that anthracycline-based regimens reduced the annual BC death rate by ∼40% in women below the age of 50 and 20% in older women.

متن کاملScheduling the adjuvant endocrine therapy for early stage breast cancer
Based on the data available through published trial results, we build a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model in order to find an optimal treatment plan for a given HR+ early stage breast cancer patient who is postmenopausal. The objective is to maximize the disease-free survival percentage at the end of the treatment period subject to the constraints on the risk of contralateral br...
