Breast cancer mortality in 500,000 women diagnosed with early breast cancer in England
In the first large, population-based study of women with early invasive breast cancer in England, we showed that prognosis for women with early invasive breast cancer has improved substantially since the 1990s. We provide estimates of breast cancer mortality for individual patients treated recently, for use in the clinic today.
