Predictive model for 5-year mortality after breast cancer surgery in Taiwan residents.

CONCLUSIONS: Compared with the conventional MLR and Cox models, the ANN model was more accurate in predicting 5-year mortality of breast cancer patients who underwent surgery. The mortality predictors identified in this study can also be used to educate candidates for breast cancer surgery with respect to the course of recovery and health outcomes.
