Validation of death prediction after breast cancer relapses using joint models. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Cancer relapses may be useful to predict the risk of death. To take into account relapse information, the Landmark approach is popular. As an alternative, we propose the joint frailty model for a recurrent event and a terminal event to derive
