Life Expectancy in Pleural and Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Table 4

Life expectancy in mesothelioma by time since diagnosis (TSD, in years), location (pleural or peritoneal), age, sex, and stage (L = localized, R = regional, and D = distant). The other covariates in the final multivariate model (see Table 3) were set to race = white, histologic type = epithelial, diagnosed in 2010, and treatment by radiation and surgery. Life expectancies for other combinations of the covariates can similarly be computed. GP = general population life expectancies, 2010.
