Lani, thanks for positing recent research. Much appreciated.

"Because most of these patients die as a result of other causes, many of which are at least partly lifestyle related (eg, cardiovascular), a healthy lifestyle and the management of non–breast cancer–related health problems in these patients are important."

I wonder what editor let that sentence through?

Penelope,

If you consult Adjuvant Online, you can calculate your own prognosis, with or without chemotherapy. It allows for age, ER status, and current health status. It does not include HER2 status, yet. My ten year prognosis (T1) for breast cancer mortality on Adjuvant Online is the same as that given in the above article, 4%. Many oncologists use Adjuvant Online to provide prognosis information to their patients.
