Development and validation of a new predictive model for breast cancer survival in New Zealand and comparison to the Nottingham prognostic index.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In Chile, more than 500 women die every year from cervical cancer, and a majority of Chilean women are not up-to-date with their Papanicolau (Pap) test. Mobile health has great potential in many health areas, particularly in health promotion and prevention. There are no randomized controlled trials in Latin ...
