Abstract

A new flexible cure rate survival regression is proposed for predicting cancer prognosis, which provides a more realistic interpretation of the biological mechanism of the event of interest. The new regression predicts breast carcinoma survival in post- mastectomy women but it can be applied to different types of surgery offered to treat cancer.
