From: Including uncertainty of the expected mortality rates in the prediction of loss in life expectancy

Fig. 3

95% confidence intervals of life expectancy LEC (graph (a)) and loss in life expectancy LLE (graph (b)) for cancer patients from two modelling approaches: 1) when including uncertainty in the expected mortality rates in the estimation (modelled w.u.), and 2) when ignoring uncertainty in the expected mortality rates in the estimation (modelled w/o u.). Results are presented for women, aged 55, 65, 75 and 85 years at breast cancer or colon cancer diagnosis in 1992, 1997 and 2002
