Including uncertainty of the expected mortality rates in the prediction of loss in life expectancy

Abstract Purpose This study introduces a novel method for estimating the variance of life expectancy since diagnosis (LEC) and loss in life expectancy (LLE) for cancer patients within a relative survival framework in situations where life tables based on the entire general population are not accessi...
