Long-term prognostic implications of risk factors associated with tumor size: a case study of women regularly attending screening
Abstract Background Breast cancer prognosis is strongly associated with tumor size at diagnosis. We aimed to identify factors associated with diagnosis of large (> 2 cm) compared to small tumors, and to examine implications for long-term prognosis. Methods We examined 2012 women with invasive bre...
