- Abstract
The article discusses the study on the impact of prognostic factors on the risk of cancer lethality in the U.S. It notes that the methods used in the study provide a new framework for identifying and quantifying the factors that contribute to cancer lethality. Moreover, there is no method that estimates the death of cancer patients which integrates tumor size, lymph node status and other prognostic information.
