Abstract
PURPOSE: For patients with early-stage breast cancer, predicting the risk of metastatic relapse is of crucial importance. Existing predictive models rely on agnostic survival analysis statistical tools (eg, Cox regression). Here we define and evaluate the predictive ability of a mechanistic model for time to distant metastatic relapse.
