Abstract

A problem in population-based cancer survival analysis is the estimation of relative hazard between patients with different characteristics handled in the same registry center. In this work, we use the Cox proportional hazard model to find an estimated hazard ratio between two patients having different characteristics. The procedure was then fitted has been applied on the data collected from Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH) Zaria Cancer Registry Center. The result indicated that female and frail patients are more prone to failure than male and non frail patients respectively.
