Abstract:The few existing statistical models of breast cancer recurrence and progression to distant metastasis are predominantly based on multi-state modelling. While useful for summarising the risk of recurrence, these provide limited insight into the underlying biological mechanisms and have limited use for understanding the implications of population-level interventions. We develop an alternative, novel, and parsimonious approach for modelling latent tumour growth and spread to local and distant metastasis, based on… Show more
