Validation of death prediction after breast cancer relapses using joint models
BACKGROUND Cancer relapses may be useful to predict the risk of death. To take into account relapse information, the Landmark approach is popular. As an alternative, we propose the joint frailty model for a recurrent event and a terminal event to derive dynamic predictions of the risk of death. METHODS The proposed prediction settings can account for relapse history or not. In this work, pred...
متن کاملPrediction of Breast Cancer Metastasis Using Fuzzy Models based on Data from Iranian Breast Cancer Patients
Introduction: The metastasis of breast cancer, the spread of cancer to different body parts, is considered as one of the most important factors responsible for the majority of deaths caused by breast cancer in women. Diagnosing the breast cancer metastasis at the earliest stages helps to choose the best treatment and improve the quality of life for patients. Method: In the present fundamental r...

متن کاملNonlinear joint models for individual dynamic prediction of risk of death using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo: application to metastatic prostate cancer
BACKGROUND Joint models of longitudinal and time-to-event data are increasingly used to perform individual dynamic prediction of a risk of event. However the difficulty to perform inference in nonlinear models and to calculate the distribution of individual parameters has long limited this approach to linear mixed-effect models for the longitudinal part. Here we use a Bayesian algorithm and a n...
متن کاملValidation study of risk prediction models for female relatives of Australian women with breast cancer
Risk prediction algorithms are an important tool for identifying individuals at high risk of developing the disease who can then be offered individually tailored clinical management. Several algorithms that predict the probability of breast cancer incidence are currently used in clinical practice. It is uncertain, though, as to which of the breast cancer risk prediction models performs best for...
