    Predicting All-Cause Mortality in Women With and Without Breast Cancer Using the Schonberg Index: A Women’s Health Initiative Study - 10 month(s) ago

    Background: When treating older women with breast cancer, life expectancy is an important consideration. ASCO recommends calculating 10-year mortality probabilities to inform treatment decisions. One useful tool is the Schonberg index, which predicts risk-based all-cause 10-year mortality. We investigated the use of this index in women aged ≥65 years with breast cancer in the Women’s Health…

      Our results show that the Schonberg index can indeed be used to predict 10-year all cause mortality for women with #bcsm, tus providing evidence to back the current @ASCO #gerionc recommendations Looking forward to your comments!!! 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 https://t.co/t1iG1neJjy

      We found that women with #breastcancer #bcsm #gerionc had a similar risk-stratified (by Schonberg index quintiles) 10-year all-cause mortality than those without #bcsm. The Index accurately predicted mortality in both groups (c-index 0.71 & 0.76) @JNCCN https://t.co/t1iG1neJjy https://t.co/zrcTPhe0a1

      In this paper, led by Rebecca Nelson we investigated the use of one such tool, the Schonberg Index (@Mara_Schonberg ) in older women with breast cancer (2,549) and paired "controls" without #bcsm and compared risk-stratified mortality rates @JNCCN https://t.co/t1iG1neJjy
