Estimating the loss of lifetime function using flexible parametric relative survival models

Abstract Background Within cancer care, dynamic evaluations of the loss in expectation of life provides useful information to patients as well as physicians. The loss of lifetime function yields the conditional loss in expectation of life given survival up to a specific time point. Due to the inevit...
