I am currently conducting a project in older women with breast cancer, and I need to have some estimation about the life expectancy for older women over 70 years old with breast cancer in the UK. These life expectancies would be either for each individual age over 70 years old in the UK, i.e. for 70, 71, etc. or for each specific subgroup, i.e. 70-75, 75-80, 80-85, etc.
During my search, I came across the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine website where it provided some life tables from The CONCORD-2 study. However, None of these life tables were specific for breast cancer.Moreover, the cancer life table that I downloaded from the London school website (Attachment) does not contain the number of survivor (lx) and death for each exact age (dx) that are necessary to calculate the life expectancy. I would be highly appreciated if anyone can provide me with any life table data that can help me to estimate the life expectancy for patients over 70 years with breast cancer (either as an individual age or age subgroup) or anyone already have a summary about these life expectancies by age.
It is really very crucial to my research to provide me these data since I do not any access to these data. I would cite any data you provide me with in my thesis, and I am willing to have any confidentiality agreement regarding any data you provide to me.
