Summary
This special issue of Breast Cancer Research and Treatment addresses the topic of how to evaluate new prognostic factors for breast cancer, and how the information provided by these new factors might be integrated with traditional factors to make better treatment decisions for these patients. Although the focus is on breast cancer, the techniques described are equally applicable to any situation involving survival or failure over time.
